Leeds United under-21 player ratings as Sutcliffe, Gyabi and Allen impress in Forest thrashing

Leeds United (4-2-3-1)

1 Harry Christy (c)

Not a whole lot he could do about the goal. Marshalled his defence well with a vocal presence. One or two smart saves. 6

2 Harvey Sutcliffe

Deliveries from wide right were dangerous throughout the game. Big physical presence who did not back out of any challenges. Took the match by the scruff of the neck. 8

4 Jeremiah Mullen

Steady. Faced with a big threat in Esapa Osong and generally did pretty well with him. Some lovely tackles on the slide. 7

5 Kris Moore

Much like Mullen, he was steady. Always offered protection for his team-mates. Brought the ball out from the back effectively. 7

3 Alfie McCalmont

Stunning goal with excellent technical ability to pull it off. Did not always look comfortable in a defensive sense, as you would imagine, but looked steadier in the second half when Nottingham Forest went backwards. 7

8 Archie Gray

Ticked over competently throughout. Never looked hugely troubled by anything, but didn't really stand out for the excellence we are used to seeing. Booked after losing his temper in the second half. 7

6 Darko Gyabi

Started slowly, but really grew into the game and became a nightmare for Forest after the break. Took his goal beautifully. 8

7 Sonny Perkins

One of those who really looks too good for this level already. Another goal which was smashed in with accuracy and power, plus general danger across the final third for Forest to deal with. 7

10 Sean McGurk

The odd flash, but a fairly quiet afternoon in an attacking sense for McGurk. 6

11 Charlie Allen

By far the best player in white from the first half and thoroughly deserved his goal. Quietened down a little after the break. 8

9 Mateo Joseph

Very peripheral by his high standards. The odd look at goal, but nothing clear-cut and seemed swamped out of the game by Forest's low block. 6

Substitutes

12 Will Brook

14 Connor Ferguson

15 Morten Spencer (on for Perkins 83min)

A rest for Perkins. N/A

16 Amari Miller (on for Joseph 87min)

Some late impetus. N/A

17 Max Dean (on for McGurk 78min)

Got a late goal. N/A
