Leeds United extended their unbeaten run to six games with victory against Watford at Elland Road on Tuesday night. Goals from Largie Ramazani and Brenden Aaronson inside the opening seven minutes proved enough to secure all three points, despite a second half resurgence from the visitors, which began with a Kwadwo Baah strike shortly after half-time. Daniel Farke’s side move joint top of the Championship table, for a day at least, before Burnley and Sunderland play, keeping the pressure on their fellow early season pace-setters.
Here are the ratings.
1. Illan Meslier - 7/10
Went to ground to try and react to the cross and so couldn't do anything when the ball came back to Baah for the goal. Dealt with crosses under pressure. Made one excellent save. | Mike Egerton/PA Wire
2. Jayden Bogle - 6/10
Some defensive issues. Flew into a reckless challenge and mercifully missed his man. Made an impact going forward though. | Getty Images
3. Joe Rodon - 7/10
Attempted clearance went straight to Baah for the goal but he was reacting an already desperate situation. Generally solid, recovered a few situations. | Getty Images

4. Pascal Struijk - 6/10
Bypassed too easily for the Watford goal. Was given a hard time of it by Watford's big men. Didn't win all of his battles. | Getty Images
5. Junior Firpo - 6/10
Below the standard he has set so far this season. A few defensive struggles. Deceived into a booking too easily and will now miss a game. | Bruce Rollinson
6. Ao Tanaka - 9/10
Leeds' best performer. So composed under pressure, took the sting out of several situations, tackled well and passed it superbly. | Getty Images
