Brentford 3 Leeds United 1: Saiz facing impossible task on his own

Leeds United head coach Thomas Christiansen.

LEEDS took on Brentford at Griffin Park.

But how did YEP cheif football writer Phil Hay rate the performances?

Andy Lonergan - Now what? Felix Wiedwald was dropped on the basis of his performances and this was a costly one from Lonergan. 4/10

Luke Ayling - Had a glorious chance to snatch a point at 2-1 in injury-time, which he failed to take by inches. Watkins and Brentford got at him in the opening 45 minutes. 5/10

Pontus Jansson - Gave away Brentford’s penalty with a risky challenge from behind and has not shown his A Game for some time now. 5/10

Liam Cooper - Leeds allowed their backline to come under pressure at first and it would be wrong to blame Cooper for any of the concessions. 6/10

Gaetano Berardi - A weak link at certain moments of the game but provided all the running down the left after the break, forcing a costly error from Bentley. 6/10
