Leeds v West Ham player ratings: Gnonto 8, Adams 6; Scamacca 8, Paqueta 7

Points shared at Elland Road on Wednesday night after entertaining 2-2 draw

LEEDS PLAYER RATINGS: Illan Meslier 6 – Commanded his area well but his distribution was poor. Almost beaten from the halfway line by Coufal, but the goalkeeper was relieved to see the ball fall onto the roof of his net. Getty

Luke Ayling 7 – The right-back drove the ball forward repeatedly and defended well to win the ball back for his side. Reuters

Robin Koch 6 – Solid display in defence and stood up well against Scamacca. PA

Liam Cooper 5 – Provided several robust challenges. Booked in the first half for bringing down Scamacca. Getty

Pascal Struijk 5 – The fullback was hit and miss. He made some good interventions but was caught out on occasion, tripping Bowen to concede a penalty at the end of the first half. Reuters

Marc Roca 5 – Showed plenty of endeavour but was ultimately wasteful in possession. Reuters

Tyler Adams 6 – Relentless work rate in midfield and provided some good link-up play. Reuters

Brenden Aaronson 5 – Showed some excellent feet going forward but lacked the final touch, and he should have hit the target with a chance on the half-volley. A misplaced pass gifted the ball to Scamacca, who turned and scored just after the break. Getty

Crysencio Summerville 8 – A real handful at times and provided a neat one-two with Gnonto to assist the opening goal. Carded for a dangerous challenge on Coufal, and the winger was lucky not to see red. Reuters

Wilfried Gnonto 8 – Started brightly and looked to threaten forwards. The 19-year-old produced a wonderful finish on the half-volley to open the scoring with his first goal for Leeds. Getty

Rodrigo 7 – The Brazilian struggled to find the target before producing a fine curling effort to beat Fabianski, equalising with 20 minutes left to play. His near-post header was denied by Fabianski in the closing minutes of added time. Also carded for a high boot on Rice early on. PA

SUBS: Jack Harrison (Summerville 63’) 7 – A bright cameo. Provided the assist to get his side level after 70 minutes. Reuters

Mateusz Klich (Aaronson 63’) 6 – Looked lively and pressed well after coming on. PA

Sam Greenwood (Roca 78’) – N/A. Reuters

Joe Gelhardt (Gnonto 90’) – N/A. Getty

WEST HAM PLAYER RATINGS: Lukasz Fabianski 6 – The goalkeeper looked uncertain at times but produced a brilliant save to deny Rodrigo in the final seconds of added time to secure his side a point. PA

Vladimir Coufal 6 – Almost embarrassed Meslier with a goal from the halfway line, but his effort landed on the roof of the net. Limped off following a nasty challenge from Summerville. Getty

Thilo Kehrer 4 – Looked lost in the left-back position, and he gave the ball away far too often. Getty

Craig Dawson 5 – An average display for the central defender in a cagey affair. Reuters

Nayef Aguerd 7 – Made several vital interventions in defence, including a sliding tackle to stop an onrushing Rodrigo early on. Reuters

Tomas Soucek 6 – Did not get on the ball as much as he would have liked. Put the ball into the back of the net but was clearly offside. Getty

Declan Rice 6 – Had some respectable moments in a difficult battle in the midfield. He could not find the target with several long-range efforts that landed in the stands. Getty

Jarrod Bowen 7 – Showed moments of quality in possession with some neat touches and runs forward. Won the first-half spot kick after being tripped by Struijk in the penalty box. Reuters

Lucas Paqueta 7 – Looked busy and tried to make things happen as the game went on. Scored from the spot to equalise at the end of the first half. Getty

Pablo Fornals 7 – Moved the ball well from the midfield and got his teammates into space in some dangerous areas. Provided an excellent ball to put in Paqueta, who could only find the side netting. Getty

West Ham United brought an end to a run of five consecutive Premier League defeats with a battling to 2-2 draw at Leeds United on Wednesday.

The writing looked to be on the wall for the visitors after teenage forward Wilfried Gnonto gave Leeds the lead in the 27th minute, but David Moyes's side responded well and deservedly levelled just before halftime through a Lucas Paqueta penalty.

With supporters still taking their seats for the second half, Gianluca Scamacca stunned Elland Road with a second for West Ham 44 seconds after the restart to complete the turnaround.

Leeds toiled as the rain came down, but a thunderbolt out of the blue from Rodrigo restored parity once more with 20 minutes to go.

Both sides had chances to win it but had to settle for a point apiece, with West Ham remaining 17th in the table, level on 15 points with Everton in the relegation zone, while Leeds are two points clear of the bottom three in 14th.
