Leeds United U21s player ratings as McGurk and Rutter impress in play-off semi-final win

Dani van den Heuvel: Could do little about the opening goal of the game but handled everything else that came his way. 7

Kris Moore: Started on the left but switched to the right and shored things up considerably. Looked the part once more. 7

Diogo Monteiro: A steady performance at the back, helped to keep Villa quiet for large periods and looked tidy next to Mullen. 7

Jeremiah Mullen: Stepped inside after a couple of games at full-back and looked comfortable, contributed to a solid defensive performance. 7

Charlie Allen: Struggled to deal with the threat of Kadan Young in the opening stages and that led to the first goal but looked a lot more comfortable on the left after making the swap. 6

Darko Gyabi: A controlled performance in the middle. Kept things ticking over for the Whites and looked to have a destructive presence, too. 8

Archie Gray: Not his best showing but still ran himself into the ground. Relentless energy in the middle. 7

Sean McGurk: A classy performance for the Whites. Pulled the strings and collected the assist for Sonny Perkins’ effort. 8

Sonny Perkins: Struggled to get himself involved at times but popped up just before the break with a smart finish to give United the lead. 7

Georginio Rutter: Dangerous with his running game throughout and Sam Allardyce, who was in attendance, will have taken note. 8

Mateo Joseph: Played in a range of positions across the front line but never stopped running. Took his goal well and showed more than his fair share of classy touches. 8

Charlie Crew (Rutter 71): Impressed when he came on the field. Kept things stable as Leeds looked to see out the result. 7

Luca Thomas (McGurk 71): Slotted onto the left but couldn’t have a huge say on proceedings. 6

Connor Ferguson (Allen 81): Got forward well when in possession. N/A

James Debayo (Perkins 87): N/A

Not used: Harry Christy.
