Leeds looked comfortable when they took an early first half lead through Raphinha, but allowed Newcastle back into the game and had to find a second goal in the second half to win it.
![One or two dicey moments but he made some really important saves to keep Leeds ahead in the game. The one from Shelvey was top class.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/QVNIMTE4OTk4NTU0.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
1. Illan Meslier - 8
One or two dicey moments but he made some really important saves to keep Leeds ahead in the game. The one from Shelvey was top class.
![Had a difficult time defensively, in the second half particularly. A loss of possession that forced him to take a yellow saw him replaced.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/QVNIMTE4OTk4NTU1.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
2. Gjanni Alioski - 6
Had a difficult time defensively, in the second half particularly. A loss of possession that forced him to take a yellow saw him replaced.
![A mixed performance. Some good stuff that allowed Leeds to go forward quickly, some not so good stuff, like the moment before Newcastle's goal.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/QVNIMTE4OTk4NTU2.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
3. Luke Ayling - 6
A mixed performance. Some good stuff that allowed Leeds to go forward quickly, some not so good stuff, like the moment before Newcastle's goal.
![A couple of tidy moments on the ball before the sad sight of him going to ground on nine minutes. Another spell on the sidelines will be bitterly disappointing.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/QVNIMTE4OTk4NTU3.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
4. Diego Llorente - NA
A couple of tidy moments on the ball before the sad sight of him going to ground on nine minutes. Another spell on the sidelines will be bitterly disappointing.
![Some good defensive work and nice moments on the ball but he was unable to keep the defence from rocking in the second half. Corners looked problematic too.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/QVNIMTE4OTk4NTU4.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
5. Liam Cooper - 7
Some good defensive work and nice moments on the ball but he was unable to keep the defence from rocking in the second half. Corners looked problematic too.
![Looked comfortable in a very good first half, not so comfortable in the second. Newcastle were able to attack through the middle and he couldn't stem the tide.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/QVNIMTE4OTk4NTU5.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
6. Kalvin Phillips - 7
Looked comfortable in a very good first half, not so comfortable in the second. Newcastle were able to attack through the middle and he couldn't stem the tide.
