Leeds United supporters rate the players after Wolves win as Aaronson and Klich impress

Leeds United started the new Premier League season in a winning fashion, defeating Wolves 2-1 at Elland Road. The Whites came from behind in the game, with a goal from Rodrigo and an own-goal from Rayan Ait-Nouri ruling out Daniel Podence's early strike.

After the game, we gave LeedsLive readers the chance to rate every Whites player out of 10. The average scores are here, and these are the main talking points:

Aaronson is the star man

LeedsLive readers gave Brenden Aaronson an average rating of 8.2 - the highest of any Whites player. It was an impressive debut from the American, who arrived from Red Bull Salzburg this summer to link up again with Jesse Marsch.

Aaronson was cruelly denied his first Leeds goal in the win. It appeared he'd prodded home Patrick Bamford's low cross in the 74th minute, but the goal has been officially awarded to Wolves' Ait-Nouri. However, even though he's still waiting for his first goal, Aaronson was still the star performer in the win according to LeedsLive readers.

Klich the super sub

Mateusz Klich replaced Rodrigo as a 65th minute substitute, and had a game-changing impact. There has been speculation that the Poland international could leave Elland Road this summer, but LeedsLive readers have made it clear that they believe he was one of the main protagonists in the Wolves win.

Klich, who came on with the scores level, showed calmness on the ball and helped Leeds regain their lead just nine minutes after coming on. He was one of the star performers, and with teams now allowed five substitutes in the Premier League, he proved his worth from the bench.

Solid start for the new boys

Aside from the outstanding Aaronson, three other summer arrivals made their Leeds debuts. Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca and Tyler Adams were all handed their first starts by Jesse Marsch.

According to LeedsLive readers, the trio weren't among the star performers in the win, but they were all solid. Kristensen was rated the highest with a score of 6.7 - and the full-back perhaps should have been awarded a penalty after he appeared to be fouled by Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa.

In the midfield department, Adams was given a rating of 6.6, and Roca a score of 6.4. It was a solid start for those three debutants, although LeedsLive readers believe there's room for improvement.

Here are the LeedsLive readers' player ratings in full:

Brenden Aaronson - 8.2

Illan Meslier - 7.5

Mateusz Klich - 7.1

Rodrigo - 7.1

Patrick Bamford - 6.9

Jack Harrison - 6.9

Rasmus Kristensen - 6.7

Tyler Adams - 6.6

Robin Koch - 6.4

Marc Roca - 6.4

Pascal Struijk - 6.4

Sam Greenwood - 6.4

Diego Llorente - 6.3

Joe Gelhardt - 6.2

Crysencio Summerville - 6.1
