Kasper Schmeichel 8, Jonny Evans 4; Stuart Dallas 8, Patrick Bamford 9: Leicester City v Leeds United player ratings

Impressive win for Bielsa's side as Foxes are found wanting at King Power Stadium

LEICESTER CITY RATINGS: Kasper Schmeichel - 8: Excellent first-half saves from Harrison and Raphinha – as well as an unbelievable stop from a Bamford header that would have been disallowed for offside had it gone in. No chance with Leeds goals. AFP

Thomas Castagne - 5: Belgian full-back limped off in first half with groin injury. AFP

Wesley Fofana - 6: The £32 million defender has looked a class act this season but found the Leeds attack hard work in first half. Bundled to floor in Leeds box by Cooper early in second half but VAR decided against awarding penalty. Had second-half shot blocked when well placed. AFP

Jonny Evans - 4: Centre of Leicester’s defence was ripped apart by Leeds for opening goal and Evans struggled to deal with their excellent movement throughout. Stabbed great chance wide with goal at mercy in last 15 minutes. Reuters

James Justin - 6: Intercepted Cooper’s ball out of defence and began move for Barnes’ excellent opening goal. Had chance to put Leicester in front at start of second half but took a few seconds too long and shot was blocked. Getty

Nampalys Mendy - 6: A more than able deputy for the injured Wilfred Ndidi and the Frenchman did well, although should have done better with second-half shot from edge of area that he hit straight at Meslier. PA

Youri Tielemans - 6: Quiet first half from the midfielder but threaded great ball through to Justin after just after the break that the full-back failed to make the most of. Low strike from edge of box easily saved by keeper after break. Getty

Marc Albrighton - 6: Lovely low cross into box from right in first half found Perez but Spaniard’s first-time finish was blocked by Meslier. Sacrificed at half-time as Leicester changed formation. Reuters

James Maddison - 6: Wasted free-kick in first couple of minutes by ludicrously going for goal instead of crossing into box. Good ball back to set-up Barnes for opening goal but gifted possession to Leeds in run-up to their quickfire equaliser. PA

Harvey Barnes - 7: Fabulous surge forward, exchange of passes with Maddison and low finish into corner to open the scoring. Denied a second by legs of Meslier seven minutes before break. Reuters

Ayoze Perez - 7: Leading the line again in Jamie Vardy’s absence, thought he’d put Leicester 2-1 up in first half but had been caught well offside. Had toe-poke from Albrighton’s cross saved at point-blank range by Meslier. Low shot with 15 minutes left well saved again by keeper. Getty

SUBS: Ricardo Pereira – (On for Castagne 37’) 7: Portuguese full-back has only recently returned to action from a cruciate ligament injury but was called on early doors after Castagne’s injury. Nice turn to skin Alioski just before the hour but weak shot easily saved. Vital touch to stop Struijk scoring. Having him back and playing well is a small positive for Leicester after a bad day at office. Reuters

Caglar Soyuncu – (On for Albrighton 46’) 5: Turkish defender brought on as Leicester reverted to a back three. Caught woefully out of position as Leeds counter-attacked for third goal. AFP

Cengiz Under – (On for Fofana 80’) N/A. Reuters

LEEDS UNITED RATINGS: Illan Meslier - 7: Busy first-half for both keepers with the Frenchman saving well from Barnes and Perez. Then produced an even better save in last quarter-of-an-hour to deny the Spaniard again. Still has irritating habit of punching clear instead of making simple catches. Reuters

Luke Ayling - 7: Not close enough to Barnes for opening Leicester goal but it was right-back’s interception and surging run that started move for leveller by Dallas just two minutes later. Booked for pulling back Justin later in first half. A key player for Leeds this season. Reuters

Pascal Struijk - 7: Back in team for the luckless Diego Llorente, defender will have been pleased to be facing Perez rather than the injured Vardy. Left swinging at thin air after slight Pereira touch denied him almost certain goal late in second half. PA

Liam Cooper - 7: Sloppy attempt at cross-field pass out of defence from captain gave away possession and started move for opening Leicester goal. A rare mistake in a solid afternoon's work. Getty

Ezgjan Alioski - 6: Solid show from Macedonian although was left for dead by Pereira at start of second half. Played his part in impressive team performance. Reuters

Kalvin Phillips - 7: Brilliant first-time pass on bouncing ball out to the right wing in first half. Lost Perez in second half that almost led to Leicester scoring but generally his usual clam and assured self anchoring the midfield. AP

Raphinha - 7: Thought he had scored for second game on the trot in first half but his low strike forced fine save from Schmeichel. Perfect defence-spitting ball to Bamford for second Leeds goal. Limped off injured which will be big concern for Leeds. AP

Stuart Dallas - 8: Some nice close control and Cruyff turns in opening 15 minutes and midfielder then produced fine run and finish to make the score 1-1. Fantastic pass over Leicester defence to put Harrison in on goal. Booked for cynical foul on Pereira. Getty

Rodrigo - 6: Big blow for Leeds when the in-form Spaniard picked up a muscle injury overstretching for ball and limped off after 20 minutes. Reuters

Jack Harrison - 7: After his fine goal at Newcastle in last match, midfielder forced good save out of Schmeichel with thumping strike. Rolled into empty net after unselfish pass from Bamford to make it 3-1. AFP

Patrick Bamford - 9: Lovely pass into Dallas for their opening goal and thought he had put his team in front but was denied by Schmeichel and – as it turned out – also the linesman’s flag. Stunning finish into top corner to put Leeds back in front with 20 minutes to go. Perfectly timed run and unselfish pass to supply Harrison with third goal. Impressive centre-forward play and Man of the Match. PA

SUBS: Mateusz Klich – (On for Rodrigo 21’) 7: Early introduction after Rodrigo’s injury and it was his brilliant pass over Leicester defence that set-up Harrison chance after 30 minutes. Poor late tackle on Mendy to earn a yellow card. Good ball through to Bamford for third goal. Getty

Leicester City missed the chance to move above Manchester United into second place in the Premier League by losing 3-1 at home to Leeds United.

Patrick Bamford scored one goal and set up the other two in a Man-of-the-Match performance at the King Power Stadium.

Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds recovered from conceding the opening goal of the game to Harvey Barnes in the 13th minute by equalizing two minutes later through Stuart Dallas and adding goals after half-time from Bamford and then Jack Harrison on a counterattack.

Bamford now has 11 goals this campaign. His goal against Leicester was excellent, collecting the ball after being played in on the left of the penalty area and smashing a fierce shot into the top corner.

It was only Leicester's second league loss since November 30 and kept Brendan Rodgers' team in third place – when it could have moved two points behind leader Manchester City.

Bamford, who had gone four games without a goal, said: "I’d love to say I don’t think about it [not scoring] but all strikers do. Last couple games I’ve been a little bit off it. It’s always nice to get a goal.

"It was nice to get the assists, a lot of the boys would’ve expected me to shoot, but I put it on a plate.

"Liverpool we came very close [against], we got a point at Manchester City. Today we showed that we can compete [with the top teams]."

A scrappy start to the match was soon forgotten when a piece of brilliance from Barnes brought the opening goal after 13 minutes.

He collected the ball just inside his own half and went on a driving run towards the edge of the penalty area, where he played a neat one-two with James Maddison before rolling a shot into the bottom corner of the net.

Leeds's response was immediate. Maddison gave the ball away and Leeds full-back Luke Ayling charged down the left-hand side. He played a pass infield to Bamford, who spotted the run of Dallas in behind the Leicester defence.

Dallas still had a lot to do but held off his man inside the box and beat Kasper Schmeichel with a finish into the far corner.

it was against the run of play when Leeds went ahead after 70 minutes. The Yorskshiremen won the ball back in midfield and Raphinha put Bamford through on the left side of the area. He still had plenty to do but rifled the ball past Schmeichel with a left-footed strike into the top corner.

Leicester had responded well to falling behind but they were hit by a sucker-punch of a third Leeds goal after 84 minutes. The visitors hit Leicester on the break. Bamford was through on goal and unselfishly teed up Harrison for a tap-in from eight yards.

"It's a tough one to take, we know how Leeds play and it can end up as a basketball game," Leicester goalscorer Barnes said.

"We played some good football and we created good chances. The goals we are very disappointed with."
