A soft early Neal Maupay goal separated the sides in what was a below-par first half from the Whites, who had more control in the second half without making keeper Robert Sanchez work.
![Not at his best. Got into good positions and couldn't do much with them. Didn't show the usual care he has on the ball.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/QVNIMTE4ODYwNjA0.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
1. Stuart Dallas - 6
Not at his best. Got into good positions and couldn't do much with them. Didn't show the usual care he has on the ball.
![An lovely early cross aside, unable to show much quality in possession and looked shaky defensively. Brighton threatened his and Raphinha's flank a lot.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/QVNIMTE4ODYwNjA1.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
2. Gjanni Alioski - 5
An lovely early cross aside, unable to show much quality in possession and looked shaky defensively. Brighton threatened his and Raphinha's flank a lot.
![Too static for the Brighton goal. Defended well for the most part, although had little of it to do in the second half.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/QVNIMTE4ODYwNjA2.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
3. Liam Cooper - 6
Too static for the Brighton goal. Defended well for the most part, although had little of it to do in the second half.
![Was no where near Maupay for the goal as the Leeds defence was passed apart. Unable to run it as often as he likes to, some nice long balls.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/QVNIMTE4ODYwNjA3.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
4. Luke Ayling - 6
Was no where near Maupay for the goal as the Leeds defence was passed apart. Unable to run it as often as he likes to, some nice long balls.
![Couldn't get Leeds moving forward. Was pulled out of shape in the lead up to the goal. Looked lost at times. Stayed in the game and had more impact later.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/QVNIMTE4ODYwNjA4.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
5. Pascal Struijk - 5
Couldn't get Leeds moving forward. Was pulled out of shape in the lead up to the goal. Looked lost at times. Stayed in the game and had more impact later.
![Really struggled to get into the game. Didn't look capable, physically, of playing to the required tempo. Withdrawn on 62 minutes.](https://www.thestar.co.uk/webimg/QVNIMTE4ODYwNjA5.jpg?crop=3:2&width=640)
6. Rodrigo - 5
