JUST IN: Portsmouth announced that the 23-year-old football player had passed away, leading to a host of tributes to come in supporters of former clubs like Wolves, Aston Villa, Birmingham and Stoke as well as those in South London.

The teenager cut in from his preferred left flank, made his way central to the edge of the area, before cutting a low-shot back across his body and into the bottom corner of the Elland Road net. Though the deadlock was broken twice more after his equaliser, the scores were still level

Has to stop the first goal. Ball went right through him. Not much he could do about a wonderful strike for the second. Distrbution was sound enough. Still a little bit concerning under high balls.

Some really good stuff in attack, especially some his passes into the final third from deeper positions. Defending was questionable for the first goal, however. Elias Sorensen was completely unmarked where the right-back should have been. Cannot give the referee a decision to make at the death like that.

One of his poorest games in memory for Leeds. Header and preceding foul played big parts in the second goal, while some of his passing was too rushed and left the team out of shape.

Excellent return to competitive action after more than seven months away. Took his penalty perfectly. Commanding in defence, even when Leeds were a little under the cosh at points. Seemed to win every duel and calm things down around him. Didn’t see as much of an impact from the left-back in attack down the side. Nothing too concerning in defence either. Had Paddy Lane locked down.

Decent enough. Nearly scored early on with a rare header from a corner that bounced off the bar. Tame challenge in the build-up to the first Portsmouth goal. Some decent tackles when they were needed in the engine room, but too many of his passes were unable to get team-mates into good positions upfield.

Started really brightly and won the early penalty, but faded over the first half and then was non-existent after the break. Pace was always there as an outlets, but will have much better days than this. Either brilliant or maddening, never anywhere in between. Fed off the team’s early confidence and really put the visitors to work, but when the pressure came on he began to try too hard. That meant his first touch grew heavy and his dribbles went down narrower and narrower alleys
