Leeds United fond returns, Rutter warm-up telling off, full-time afters and off-camera Brighton moments

Leeds United completed their Elland Road season in a manner befitting their entire Premier League season.

The Whites secured a bit of a smash-and-grab victory with a stoppage time winner against Brighton in their final home game. Here's the YEP take.

Good day

Karl Darlow

Well worth his clean sheet. It was a performance that typified his contribution in net for Leeds this season. Although he only made one really good stop, he was needed so many more times and did the sensible thing on every occasion.

Jaka Bijol

Could be on the beach but the thought of phoning it in has obviously never entered his formidable Slovenian head. Defended the box like he and Leeds needed the win and the clean sheet.

Daniel Farke

Had his name sung by Elland Road at various points as he guided them to another really impressive performance and result. Leeds nullified Brighton's style and danger so many times and as they have all season stayed in it to the end, so there was always the chance of a victory.

Sam Byram

Came onto the pitch for the final few minutes and did his bit to defend, but if it had not been for his slightly wayward pass down the line, the winner might never have come. A win and a clean sheet on what is almost certainly his final Elland Road appearance. One to savour.

Bad day

Anton Stach

The German was stretchered off in the second half in what was a really worrying scene, for Leeds and for his World Cup hopes. It was a pretty innocuous incident, just a bump in the air and then an awkward landing.

Fabian Hürzeler

Couldn't mastermind the breakthrough against Leeds despite numerous changes and attempts and then appeared to lose his cool at full-time.

Georginio Rutter

Given a very generous hero's welcome by the Elland Road crowd, the attacker was unable to give Brighton that bit of magic he's known for. And was smashed by James Justin for good measure.

Off-camera

The world's most professional man James Milner lying on the ground outside the away dressing room stretching his hip with a theraband.

A grinning Lucas Perri applauding first team sports science chief Tom Robinson after the latter controlled a high pass, kept it up a couple of times and volleyed it back sweetly.

Lukas Nmecha laughing as he came inches away from hitting a kit man with a curling shot. The kit man was standing in the goalmouth, to be fair to the striker. His next shot cannoned off the crossbar.

‘Talking for so long that Joel Piroe ordered Rutter to do some warming up’

The West Stand and Kop singing Rutter's name as he went to warm up in the corner, before a happy reunion with Willy Gnonto. The pair were talking for so long that Joel Piroe ordered Rutter to do some warming up.

A few words exchanged between Fabian Hürzeler and someone in the Leeds staff as they had to be kept separate at full-time.

Darlow's tiny child waving to the crowd like someone who had played 38 games.
