BRIGHTON RATINGS: Robert Sanchez - 6: The Spanish goalkeeper spent majority of the game as spectator as Brighton easily coped with Leeds attacks. AFP
Lewis Dunk - 7: The experienced centre-back was consistently alert to the danger when cutting out passes and clearing crosses coming into the box. A captain’s display.. PA
Adam Webster - 7: A confident display saw the defender drive the ball out of defence well to transition the ball into midfield. The defender also showed a good range of passing, linking with Danny Welbeck who often ran into channels. PA
Ben White - 6: Distributed the ball well from the back and dealt with everything Leeds had at their disposal. A strong performance all-round from Brighton’s back three. PA
Joel Veltman - 6: Leeds rarely threatened down Brighton’s right-hand side as Veltman defended astutely alongside Ben White. Could have found the target but was forced to take a good chance on his weaker foot. Getty
Pascal Gross - 7: A well-taken penalty from the German midfielder put Brighton ahead. Defended well in midfield alongside Bissouma. EPA
Yves Bissouma - 6: A quieter game than usual for the Mali midfielder who kept things ticking over without his usual attacking impetus. Comfortable defensively. Reuters
Dan Burn - 7: Started the second-half in perfect fashion driving into the box and delivering a low ball across which Veltman could have done better with. Solid in the air as usual from the big defender. AP
Leandro Trossard - 7: The Belgian attacker looked bright in spells throughout the game but should have scored just before half-time but could only blast over from close range. Unlucky not to get an assist from a number of good balls into the Leeds penalty area. Getty
Neal Maupay - 6: Pressured the Leeds backline tirelessly and forced Marcelo Bielsa’s defenders to play the ball long. While chances were few and far between, the Frenchman should have done better when hitting the ball first time from a pass into the box in the second-half. EPA
Danny Welbeck - 8: The English forward made the most of contact to win a penalty and displayed good movement throughout, floating into pockets of space well to get in behind the Leeds defence. The 30-year-old’s efforts were rewarded as he sealed the game in the 80th minute, chopping past the defender and striking the ball well on his left foot. AP

Illan Meslier - 6: Went the right way for the penalty and very nearly got there but Gross struck it well to open the scoring. A good hand against Welbeck kept the game at 1-0 but he couldn’t do much about the striker’s second effort in the 80th minute.
Luke Ayling - 6: The defender got into some good crossing positions but his delivery into the box could have been better. AFP
Diego Llorente - 7: Dealt well with the threat of Welbeck and was quick to track runs in behind. Welbeck scored Brighton's second as soon as the Spanish defender was substituted. EPA
Pascal Struijk - 5 : The 21-year-old dealt well with the majority of defensive situations but made a mess of a clearance before getting turned too easily by Welbeck for the second goal.
Ezgjan Alioski - 5: Unlucky to give away a soft penalty but could have done more to get out of the way of Welbeck who was happy for the contact inside the box. Hooked at half-time. Reuters
Robin Koch - 7: A good display in defensive midfield saw the German make plenty of tackles in the midfield battle. Reuters
Stuart Dallas - 6: Linked well with Ayling down the right-hand side which saw Leeds get into some dangerous crossing positions. Connected well outside the box with a volley but couldn’t keep it on target. Quiet overall. AFP
Mateusz Klich - 5: The Polish midfielder failed to impose himself in midfield but Leeds couldn’t seem to crack the code against Brighton’s defence. Reuters
Tyler Roberts - 5: The 22-year-old’s passing was sloppy at times but Leeds aren’t the only team to struggle against Brighton this season. Reuters
Jack Harrison - 6: The winger’s end product could have been better with a number of crosses carrying a dangerous trajectory being overhit. AFP
Patrick Bamford - 6: Struggled for service while attempting to find way through Brighton’s back three. Leeds simply didn’t get the ball to the striker enough. Replaced just before the hour mark. AFP
SUBS: Ian Poveda - (On for Alioski, 46') 6: A confident display from the English winger saw him
as he looked to attack the Leeds defence and showed some flashes of clever skill but Leeds coulodn't get going offensively. EPA
Rodrigo - (On for Bamford, 59') 6 - The former Valencia man offers more pace than Bamford but Leeds would have benefited more from changing to two upfront. Brighton’s defence have dealt well with lone strikers throughout this season and Rodrigo was unable to get into any dangerous positions. PA
