Patrick Bamford ended a 10-game run without a goal with Jack Harrison amongst the action again with another strike for Marcelo Bielsa's men. Blackburn's Derek Williams replied before the half-time interval from a corner but it wasn't enough as the Whites made it four wins on the bounce at Elland Road to remain third in the Championship standings. Here's how chief football writer Graham Smyth assessed the performance...
1. Kiko Casilla
7 - Another game when he had very little to do. Good distribution whenever he saw the ball.
2. Luke Ayling
7 - Sloppy with his passing at times and lost his man for the Rovers goal, but won a penalty and was otherwise defensively sound, getting forward when he could as well.
3. Liam Cooper
8 - Solid, stepped in to intercept when he had to, passed it well. Handled Gallagher. Unruffled until he picked up yet another knock.
4. Ben White
8 - Showed every facet of his defensive capabilities, nipping in to halt attacks, winning headers, running the ball out of defence.
5. Kalvin Phillips
Phillips 7 Engaged in a running battle with Bradley Dack, coming out on top more times than not but wasn't able to dominate completely.
6. Helder Costa
7 - Went on some terrific runs. Not always able to make something happen at the end of it, but his dribbling was great to watch.
