Leeds United player ratings as Josuha Guilavogui and Mateo Joseph disappoint in Millwall loss
Leeds United were knocked out of the FA Cup after losing 2-0 to Millwall at Elland Road this afternoon. The defeat ends their 14-game unbeaten run.
Femi Azeez netted the opening goal midway through the first half thanks to a huge deflection off Josuha Guilavogui which deceived Darlow. Azeez got the second 10 minutes after the break with a low drive with Leeds slow on the transition.
Sam Chambers was a bright spark on his full debut, taking on his markers and producing a number of shots. But 10 changes to the line-up ultimately showed and Leeds now only have league games to concentrate on from here on in.

26 - Karl DARLOW
Could do nothing for the goal. Will feel disappointed with the second, yet he was hardly to blame for it. Should have caught a cross he punched. 6
33 - Isaac SCHMIDT
Really positive with some slick passes, cool touches and forward thinking. Also covered his space well and will feel aggrieved not to have had a foul given in the build-up for the opening goal. His ball led to the penalty. Overall, a solid effort. 8
5 - Pascal STRUIJK
Had been doing fine until he failed to convert his penalty. Lost the ball afterwards but regained composure when the first fleet of substitutes came on. 6
4 - Ethan AMPADU
Carelessly lost the ball on the edge of his own box that almost led to a second Millwall goal. A bit lacklustre - which definitely has not been the case in previous weeks. 5
25 - Sam BYRAM
Minded his flank fine but failed to complete a number of passes going forward. Was ineffective in that regard. 6
8 - Joe ROTHWELL
Tried to force the issue in the second half and looked better when the substitutes came on but more was required initially. Set-piece balls, bar one, were OK but lacked the end product. 7
23 - Josuha GUILAVOGUI
Won a wonderful header in the opening five seconds to put down a marker. Put in some solid challenges - sometimes too solid. Is perhaps lucky to only have got a yellow on Casper De Norre. Cannot be blamed for his deflection for the opener but lost the ball for the second goal. 5
42 - Sam CHAMBERS
Really positive and proactive. Fired in two shots with some clever running inside and out. Beat his marker a number of times. Fitted in well and didn't look nervous at all. Given he's not yet 18, he can hold his head high. 7
29 - Wilfried GNONTO
Drew frustration from fans for holding onto the ball a bit too long and looked much better when he did move it on quicker. Gave some nice touches but the final ball lacked. 6
17 - Largie RAMAZANI
Produced some neat touches and took on many a man in the first half. Drew a save in the second half but tailed off when he was put on the right. 7
19 - Mateo JOSEPH
Made too many loose passes when Leeds were on the attack. Was out of much of the second half play. 3
SUBS
3 - Junior FIRPO (on 68 mins for Byram)
Pushed higher up and forced the Millwall flankers to watch his movement. 6
10 - Joel PIROE (on 80 mins for Gnonto)
Played as false nine behind Joseph but didn't produce much fruit. 5
14 - Manor SOLOMON (on 68 mins for Chambers)
Was the liveliest of the initial trip that came on and cause Millwall to think more. In fact, was the most exciting winger all day for Leeds. 7
22 - Ao TANAKA (on 68 mins for Guilavogui)
Added some solidity, but this came too late. 6
37 - James DEBAYO (on 84 mins for Ampadu)
Guarded what he had to. 6
