Crysencio Summerville, Joel Piroe, and Wilfried Gnonto scored goals in Leeds United’s Championship match against Swansea City at Swansea.com Stadium on Tuesday night.
Leeds United (4-2-3-1).
1. Illan Meslier.
Good first-half save to come out and deny Ronald from close range. There is also decent dispersal at times. Despite the momentum shift in the second half, I’m not too concerned. 7
22. Archie Gray
So good on the ball. He appears to be at ease and will do whatever the team requires of him with the ball. Swansea City’s attack did not bother me in the least. 7
14. Joe Rodon
Another extremely pleasant evening for the Wales international at home. A cut or two above this level, and you’re barely asked to go faster than walking. 7
4. Ethan Ampadu (c)
Very accomplished. When Swansea’s second-half tactics did break into the final third, Ampadu was one of the players who moved the ball away from danger with ease. 7
3 Junior Firpo
He still has that shaky pass-to-tackle ability that either gives Swansea an advantage or hampers a vital Leeds attack. Swansea are simply not good enough to fully exploit the left-back. 6
44 Ilya Gruev
Such a useful security blanket at the moment. When Swansea broke through the center, there was always someone to pick up the pieces. 7
8. Glen Kamara
Battled and coped admirably under the harsh conditions. Bossed the game alongside Gruev. 7
29. Wilfried Gnonto
Increasing in strength. On another night, he had two goals and an assist, and he seemed to be the focal point of United’s most effective offensive. Confidence oozes. 8
24. Georginio Rutter
When they go away from home and score four goals with him on the field, he is clearly unhappy that he is not part of the action. He contributes significantly to the assaults, although he is not the man with the most goals and assists. 7
10 Crysencio Summerville.
He is thoroughly enjoying himself. Can slip out of games and then resurface with deadly force. The Whites’ responses are always found in the final third. 8
7. Joel Piroe
He accomplished the purpose for which he had returned, but he did not think much further. We battled all night in thick and damp circumstances. Just can’t match Patrick Bamford’s natural frontman abilities. 7

12 Jaidon Anthony (on for Summerville 73 minutes)
He was eager to participate, but nothing exactly worked out for him. 6
20 Daniel James (on for Gnonto after 73 minutes)
