Leeds United welcomed Brentford at Elland Road earlier tonight as they hoped to secure a positive result at home in the Premier League. The Whites made a bright start to the game but were held to a scoreless draw at the half-time break.<\/p>\n

The West Yorkshire club failed to score in the second 45 minutes and had to settle for a lackluster 0-0 draw in front of their home fans.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at how each Leeds United<\/a> player fared during the clash against Brentford.<\/p>\n

GK: Karl Darlow \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He made a couple of solid saves at the back. However, Darlow did not do enough to keep a clean sheet.<\/p>\n

CB: Joe Rodon \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rodon cleared the danger when he could and won his fair share of aerial duels inside his half.<\/p>\n

CB: Jaka Bijol \u2013 8.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was a rock at the back and didn\u2019t put a foot wrong on the defensive end of the field. Bijol deserves to be named the man of the match.<\/p>\n

CB: Pascal Struijk \u2013 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Struijk gave a good account of himself defensively and was a strong presence in the air.<\/p>\n

RM: James Justin \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He came back to defend when needed and made a few key chances in the final third.<\/p>\n

CM: Ethan Ampadu \u2013 7.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ampadu anchored the midfield well but offered very little going forward.<\/p>\n

CM: Anton Stach \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was a positive influence at both ends of the field. Stach did well to engineer some meaningful openings for others around him.<\/p>\n

LM: Jayden Bogle \u2013 7\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bogle was solid defensively and made some promising runs with the ball.<\/p>\n

CAM: Brenden Aaronson \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He caught the eye at times, but there was no goal for him.<\/p>\n

ST: Dominic Calvert-Lewin \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Calvert-Lewin was a real handful for the opposition defenders but failed to find the back of the net.<\/p>\n

ST: Lukas Nmecha \u2013 6.5\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He caused some problems for his marker, but there was no goal for him.<\/p>\n

Substitutes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

CM: Ao Tanaka \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

His impact on the game was minimal.<\/p>\n

ST: Noah Okafor \u2013 6\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t shy away from having a strike at goal after coming off the bench.<\/p>\n
