H / T player ratings

Robin Olsen 7

Produced a good preservation method for flipping Strujk’s oblique head over the bar. Handle the ball well

Mason Holgate 7

His hands were full but they handled well. The right-back is not his favorite position, but he is more than a skilled deputy. Crossing hits and misses

See Mina 8

Two towering heads from the corners of Leeds won’t make the headlines but they were decisive

Ben Godfrey 9

He had a lot to do but hardly foul in the center of defense. Excellent. And he capped a superb run with Everton’s second help when he hit Sigurdsson’s corner

Lucas Denny 8

Ancelotti was furious after he switched to giving Leeds a chance in the first minute but more than made up for it with a assist to Sigurdsson’s goal. His sixth league season

Alex Iwobi 8

He looked strong and was enjoying the pockets of the space Leeds let him work in

Abdullah Al-Dakhour 8

Everything you’d expect from an Everton midfielder. It does exactly what it says on the tin.

Andre Gomez, 8

Sent Digne charging the winger with a weighted pass from the kickoff movement that led to the goal. He feels comfortable playing with a true defensive midfielder by his side.

Richarlison 7

Half a fan because he bonds so well with those around him. He appears to have read Ancelotti’s comments about his need to work harder

Gilfi Sigurdsson 8

Easier than the finishing touches for scoring after nine minutes, but the team play and use of the ball was great.

Dominic Calvert Lewin 8

Ancelotti was infuriated when he chose to shoot rather than pass when Everton hit the hosts on the counter but put a smile on his face as he headed for the Blues.
