Derby County struggled to lay a glove on the hosts as Leeds went back to the top of the Championship after Burnley were held to a 1-1 draw by Middlesbrough on Friday night.
Goals from Joe Rodon and Max Wober, both of whom were yet to score for the club, ensured Leeds left Elland Road on Saturday afternoon with all three points.
Here are the ratings.
7. Joe Rothwell: 9/10
Busy, urgent, good on the ball and quick into the tackle. There was a noticeable uplift in the midfielder's performance level from the Blackburn game. Some good deliveries. Photo: George Wood
8. Dan James: 7/10
Made good runs, supplied some dangerous crosses and passes. Not all of his work was pinpoint in the final third. | Getty Images
9. Manor Solomon: 6/10
A couple of nice moments including a shot that wasn't far wide, but wasn't in the game as much as he should have been. | Getty Images
10. Brenden Aaronson: 6/10
Got in good positions to have a go but couldn't find the right finish. Lots of running and hard work to press. | Danny Lawson/PA Wire
11. Joel Piroe: 5/10
A repeat of previous performances. Not a factor in the penalty area beyond one shot that was well saved. Not where Leeds needed him. | Getty Images
12. Max Wober (sub): 8/10
A solid performance, capped by a goal. Got forward really well to suggest that Leeds' left flank will stay dangerous if Firpo is out. Some big tackles too. | Getty Images
