Leeds v QPR player ratings
QPR are bottom of the Championship after a predictable defeat at Elland Road. Here’s how we rated each Rangers player in the 2-0 loss to Leeds.
Paul Nardi: 7
Continues to impress despite the team’s woes. Produced a couple of excellent second-half stops, including one to bravely deny Manor Solomon.
Jimmy Dunne: 6
Gave his all at right-back as always. Went close to equalising with a header. Atoned for his initial mistake with a timely clearance in the second half following a save by Nardi.
Steve Cook: 6
Solid at the back. A fine challenge on Mateo Joseph was a highlight. Rangers look vulnerable defensively but would surely be much worse off without their experienced captain.
Sam Field: 7
Did well again at centre-back. Unlucky when he cleared off the line only for Jayen Bogle to fire in the loose ball. Field then prevented a second Leeds goal by blocking Ao Tanaka’s goal-bound shot.
Harrison Ashby: 5
Out of his depth and seemed to be lacking sharpness following his recent injury.
Jonathan Varane: 6
Gave away needless free-kicks and looks predictable on the ball, but least is able to physically compete in midfield with his aggression and mobility.
Kieran Morgan: 6
The youngster was again brave on the ball and eager to work hard.
Paul Smyth: 5
At least willing to have a go and got through plenty of work off the ball. But his tendency to find the opposing keeper with crosses is frustrating.
Lucas Andersen: 5
A decent delivery to Dunne almost led to a goal, but overall Andersen didn’t do nearly enough.
Koki Saito: 6
Lively in spells and set up Zan Celar.
Zan Celar: 5
Anonymous for most of the game and then woefully missed a late chance to equalise when he fired over.
Nicolas Madsen: 6
Made very little impact after coming on midway through the second half.
Daniel Bennie: 6
The youngster was also unable to do much after coming on.
