Meslier: Left exposed for both first-half goals. One or two loose clearances, but little to do in truth. 6

Ayling: His axis with Raphinha down the right was a good outlet for Leeds. Non-stop, huge heart. Booked. 7

Struijk: Looked the more composed in Leeds's backline, even if he did not step out for Everton's opener. Went close with a header from a set-piece. 6

Cooper: Switched off for Everton's opener and had some dodgy moments in terms of concentration and possession in the first half. But was more convincing and together in the second half. 5

Alioski: Deserved a goal with a brilliant volley. Not so convincing in his defensive work in the first half. 6

Phillips: In discomfort ahead of the game, but soldiered on. Had a difficult first half and could not dictate with Sigurdsson doing a good job in negating his influence. Better after the break, but not vintage by his high standards. 6

Raphinha: Threatened with his pace and drive and was unstinting in his work without the ball. Got the ball he deserved. Such a good capture, one of the signings of the season. 8

Klich: Tested OIsen with a curler and with a low second half shot, but chunks of the game passed him by. 6

Dallas: Quieter game by his usual immaculate standards. He was probably due one of those. Pepped up in second half and produced a fine cross for Bamford's chance. 6

Harrison: After some recent highs, Harrison was kept in check and subdued in the first half being much more like his old self in the second half. Booked. 7

Bamford: Showed some neat touches and linked play intelligently. So close with a second-half header which clipped the bar. 7

Substitutes: Roberts (Alioski 69), 6; Hernandez (Alioski 78, 6); Costa (Harrison 88).

Not used: Casilla, Davis, Cresswell, Shackleton, Jenkins, Huggins.
