Leeds United player ratings after Summerville leads an incredible comeback victory over Norwich.

Crysencio Summerville scrapes out a brace that provides the difference in a 3-2 win for Leeds United at Carrow Road after their Championship meeting with Norwich City on Saturday afternoon.

Leeds United (4-2-3-1)

1 Illan Meslier

Gabriel Sara’s build-up was good, but the goalkeeper will be upset to concede at his near post. There wasn’t much he could do about the opener. After the second shot, I was fairly stable.

22 Archie Gray

He got beaten to a pulp by any winger he was up against. It appeared that he was a 17-year-old playing his sixth match in 17 days. You’re jaded, and you’re wondering why Daniel Farke kept him around for so long. He seemed to bring very nothing to the table. 4

14 Joe Rodon

Adam Idah gave him a rough time. He was never reached. 5

21 Pascal Struijk (c)

He never appeared at ease in defense, much like Rodon. The centre-backs were divided far too frequently, and the hosts could have driven a bus through the middle, particularly in the first hour. 5

25 Sam Byram

That’s not good. Not nearly as starkly exposed as Gray on the other side, but a difficult afternoon nonetheless. 5

4 Ethan Ampadu

He couldn’t maintain the control he usually maintains in the middle. Kenny McLean is in charge of large spells. 5

8 Glen Kamara

In the midst of combat, he seemed to compete better and with more composure than others.

20 Daniel James

Put forth the effort as he always does, but lacked the quality needed in the last third before the cut-back that Shane Duffy couldn’t avoid. 6

7 Joel Piroe

Another trying afternoon where he couldn’t decide where to put himself. 5

10 Crysencio Summerville

One of the stronger players on what appeared to be a bad day for the Whites, but the quality of his goals was outstanding. Everything you hoped for when it became evident that someone with his potential would remain in the second tier. 8

24 Georginio Rutter

Not at his A1 best, but as he grew into the game after the break, his vision and flair returned. Sees things that others do not, which can be frustrating at times. 7
