Leeds United fell to a 3-0 defeat against Everton on Saturday afternoon, with the Toffees now just one point behind the Whites in the Premier League table. 

A slow start from Marcelo Bielsa's side resulted in them falling two goals behind early on, with Seamus Coleman and Michael Keane both scoring for Frank Lampard's team.

Stuart Dallas also hobbled off injured in the opening stages and Richarlison's strike which deflected off Anthony Gordon sealed the win late on to make it an afternoon to forget for the visitors at Goodison Park.

Here at The Transfer Tavern, we’ve used statistical experts SofaScore to analyse who were Leeds' three worst outfield performers to have played at least 45 minutes.

In total, these three players lost the ball a whopping 28 times, were second best in 72% of their aerial and ground duels and made just three tackles all afternoon.

Mateusz Klich – 6.3/10

First up is Klich, who was brought off by Bielsa at the interval for Adam Forshaw. The midfielder had an opening 45 minutes to forget, losing possession on nine occasions.

The Poland international committed two fouls, lost five of his six duels and made just one tackle. He had only 25 touches of the ball before being replaced and didn't have a shot of any kind.

Daniel James – 6.4/10

After scoring twice against Aston Villa on Wednesday, James struggled on Merseyside. The Welshman once again started in a central attacking role but moved out wide when Tyler Roberts came on at half-time.

James lost the ball 11 times, had no shots on target, was second-best in nine of his 12 duels and committed two fouls. He also failed to register a key pass and didn't complete any of his three crosses, ending with one successful tackle to his name.

Raphinha – 6.5/10

Like Klich, Raphinha was also withdrawn at half-time and again looked off the pace. The Brazilian lost the ball eight times, lost four of his seven duels and, like Klich and James, made just one tackle.

He was also dribbled past twice and failed to have a shot prior to being replaced.
