SUB: Jack Harrison 5 - The winger didn’t get the chance to show much of his quality as he didn’t receive the ball an awful lot but when West Ham did attack, he helped provide defensive cover for Alioski. Reuters
WEST HAM PLAYER RATINGS: Lukas Fabianski - 9 – He performed well on his return to the starting line-up, commanding his area and collecting virtually every ball crossed into his box. In the second half, he made two crucial saves against two very powerful Raphinha shots. EPA
Vladimír Coufal - 5 - The right-back struggled early on when trying to contain Raphina. He was also clumsy at times, leaving a foot out to give away fouls, and his passing along the touchline wasn’t the most accurate. However, he provided some good forward runs for the home side. EPA
Craig Dawson - 9 - A superb performance from the centre-back who scored a thundering header to put West Ham two up after getting on the end of a corner from Cresswell. He nearly got a second but hit the post, again from a corner. He was a saviour at the back as well for West Ham as he cleared the ball off the line after Rodrigo tried a tap in. A man-of-the-match display. EPA
Issa Diop - 7 - He gave away the ball a few times with his poor passing and lost his man in the box on occasion. However, he turned his game around in the second half, making several key blocks and clearances. EPA
Aaron Cresswell - 7 - The left-back played well driving forward and supplying some great crosses. He had a free-kick deflected, but his standout moment was his assist to Dawson’s header from the corner. EPA
Tomáš Soucek - 6 - The Czech midfielder played well, putting himself in multiple positions to score one of his trademark headers, though he didn’t find the net this time. He made some good interceptions, too. Reuters
Declan Rice - 7 - A good performance from the skipper, who made a number of strong interceptions and produced a great run forward just 13 minutes in. He protected his defence well and was solid overall. EPA
Pablo Fornals - 6 - After a slow start to the game, the Spaniard joined his fellow attackers to create several good pieces of play. He nearly scored a screamer in the second half, but his shot ricocheted off the crossbar. EPA
Jesse Lingard - 8 - West Ham’s star man at the moment continued to shine and he was rewarded for his skilful dribbling by winning a penalty after being brought down by Ayling. After having the penalty saved, he tapped in on the follow-up and put his side ahead. Reuters
Said Benrahma - 6 - Like Fornals, he started slowly but produced a number of through balls and neat quick one-twos with Lingard. He nearly scored from about 25 yards out in the first half but was denied by Meslier. EPA
Michail Antonio - 7 - One of West Ham’s best players this season, he really put his pace and strength to good use, whether it is was by holding up the ball or positioning himself on the Leeds goalkeeper at corners. He was a key part of the home side’s performance. Reuters
SUB: Jarrod Bowen N/A - The winger came on and didn’t add a lot to the game as his side sat back. He did, however, show battling qualities and some quick play on the counter. EPA
SUB: Ben Johnson - N/A - The youngster was subbed on very late so didn’t get a chance to put his mark on the game, though his main goal was to help Cresswell smother Raphinha’s attacking talent on the left-hand side. EPA
LEEDS UNITED RATINGS: Illan Meslier - 6 - The Leeds goalkeeper had a steady start to the game and looked comfortable on the ball, but he was let down by his defence at times. He did well to save Lingard’s penalty, but he didn’t clear it far enough to prevent the tap in. EPA
Luke Ayling - 5- Leeds’ right-back was guilty of a sloppy performance, giving the penalty away by clumsily sticking his leg out to bring down Lingard. He did block a Cresswell free-kick, but later gave away another free-kick in a similar position. Reuters
Diego Llorente - 5 - The Spaniard started the game strongly, making some good switches across the field. However, as the game went on, his commanding presence disintegrated and West Ham attacked freely. Reuters
Liam Cooper - 5 - The Leeds skipper constantly gave away fouls in dangerous positions for his side, and he couldn’t stop his team from conceding twice. Reuters
Stuart Dallas – 4 – The Northern Irish midfielder seemed to go missing for large patches of play, though he did have a chance late on for a shot, but it was easily blocked by Diop. Reuters
Kalvin Phillips - 6 - Phillips tried his best to protect the back line, making many important interceptions, but overall it wasn’t enough for Leeds. He also made some good forward passes but he lacked a spark of proper quality. Reuters
Raphinha - 7 - Easily Leeds’ best player after contributing some very skilful attacks with neat footwork, but his crosses were either off target or there was no-one to finish them off. EPA
Mateusz Klich – 4 - Like Dallas, Klich seemed to disappear in the middle of the park for the whole time he was on the pitch and that was probably why he was brought off at half-time. A very lacklustre performance. EPA
Tyler Roberts - 6- At the start of the game he played well, finding space and displaying some good footwork, but he was unlucky to have an early goal ruled out for offside. After that, he lost his spark as his side were dominated by West Ham. Reuters
Hélder Costa - 7 - He made some good runs and nearly scored just five minutes in, but his effort went narrowly over the bar. Reuters
Patrick Bamford - 5 - It was a night to forget for Bamford who missed multiple chances. He had a goal ruled out early on and in the second half he should have done better when he fired just wide. There was some good holdup play, but it was overshadowed by his profligacy in front of goal. EPA
SUB: Ezgjan Alioski 6- After coming on at half-time he was solid at left-back, making some good runs, but he couldn’t kickstart a comeback. He didn’t have much defensive work to do as West Ham mostly sat back having got their lead. AFP
SUB: Rodrigo 5 - He had very little influence on the game apart from nearly scoring a tap in; he should have added more power but it was cleared off the line by Dawson. Reuters
