Leeds vs Everton player ratings: Sinisterra 8, Llorente 4; Iwobi 7, Gordon 9

Both sides squandered a number of decent chances to add to their tally as the game ended in a 1-1 draw

LEEDS RATINGS: Illan Meslier 6 – Got away with some sloppy passing out from the back and had no chance with the opening goal after being left one-v-one with Gordon. The 22-year-old kept out Patterson’s shot in the final 10 minutes to ensure the points were shared. PA

Marc Roca 5 – Part of a struggling defence that had a torrid time against the movement of Gordon Getty Images

Luis Sinisterra 8 – The 23-year-old was outstanding with the ball, showcasing a tidy back-flick to create a chance for Aaronson. Got the equaliser for the home side with his first goal in the Premier League, wrong-footing Pickford to find the bottom corner. Getty Images

Brenden Aaronson 8 – An eye-catching performance from the American who led the Leeds comeback after the break. Came close to getting on the scoresheet at the start of the second half but his effort was matched by Pickford. Replaced by James after 76 minutes. Getty Images

Jack Harrison 6 – A more subdued performance than usual from the midfielder. Getty Images

Rodrigo Moreno 5 – The in-form forward could not make his mark on the game before being substituted after 32 minutes with a worrying shoulder injury following a collision with Pickford. AFP

SUBS: Joe Gelhardt (Rodrigo, 32) 6 – Came on to replace the injured Rodrigo, but the young forward struggled to find the back of the net with two great chances inside the box, and Patrick Bamford replaced the substitute after 76 minutes. Reuters

Mateusz Klich (Sinisterra, 64) 6 - Looked lively and tried to make things happen after coming on for the goalscorer. Reuters

Patrick Bamford (Gelhardt, 76) 5 – In his return from injury, the striker didn’t get as involved as he would have liked. Reuters

EVERTON RATINGS: Jordan Pickford 7 – The England international was alert when called upon, denying both Aaronson and Harrison shortly after half-time, but could have done better with the Leeds equaliser after being left stranded by Sinisterra’s finish. Getty Images

Nathan Patterson 8 – Defensively brilliant but could not win the game for his side after being slid in by Gordon at 84 minutes. Getty Images

Conor Coady 7 – Commanding performance in defence, and the former Wolves captain organised his side well. Reuters

James Tarkowski 6 – A solid enough display, but the centre-back was rescued by his goalkeeper after a mistake that put Gelhardt through on goal in the second half. Reuters

Vitaliy Mykolenko 5 – Got better as the game went on but had a much quieter night than his full-back partner. PA

Tom Davies 4 - Carded for unnecessary foul on Meslier after 20 minutes, leaving him vulnerable for the rest of the game. Getty Images

Dwight McNeil 5 – A lacklustre performance from the summer signing who is yet to make his mark for Everton. AP Photo

Alex Iwobi 7 – Relentless work rate in a new role in central midfield, assisting Gordon’s opener after 17 minutes. Also made a crucial intervention to deny Bamford a goalscoring opportunity after 84 minutes. AFP

Demarai Gray 6 – Thought he had put his side ahead after a smart finish against Meslier, but it was ruled out for a very tight offside call. Getty Images

Anthony Gordon 9 – The 21-year-old proved his quality again, scoring in successive games for the first time in his career. Involved in all of the action and set up Patterson after 83 minutes, but he could not find the back of the net. Getty Images

Leeds United's Luis Sinisterra cancelled out Anthony Gordon's first-half opener for Everton as the two sides drew 1-1 in a pulsating Premier League clash at Elland Road on Tuesday.

Strongly linked with a switch to Chelsea, Gordon started and finished the move that led to the opening goal in the 17th minute, cutting in from the left before collecting Alex Iwobi's pass and slotting the ball through the legs of Illan Meslier.

Leeds striker Rodrigo Moreno missed a golden opportunity to put his side level in the 22nd minute as Jack Harrison flashed the ball across the box, but the Spaniard failed to connect with the goal at his mercy.

The 31-year-old left the field 10 minutes later having suffered a shoulder injury in a tangle with Everton keeper Jordan Pickford, and though Leeds continued to enjoy plenty of possession for the remainder of the half they struggled to break down a stubborn Everton defence.

The home side poured on the pressure straight after the break and got the goal they deserved when Sinisterra, making his first Premier League start, rifled home a bouncing shot in the 55th minute after a number of near-misses.

Demarai Gray thought he had put Everton back into the lead in the 66th minute but the goal was chalked off following a VAR review that found him to be offside.

Both sides squandered a number of decent chances to add to their tally as the game ended in a draw that leaves Leeds fifth in the table on eight points while Everton, who are still without a win this season, climb to 15th spot on three points.
