Leeds United sealed their path into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup thanks to a penalty shoot-out victory over Fulham on Tuesday night.

Marcelo Bielsa's side had Illan Meslier to thank as the French goalkeeper denied Rodrigo Muniz in sudden death to send the Whites home happy.

But while Leeds may have booked their passage into the next round of the competition, one man who really let his manager down with a woeful display was Tyler Roberts.

One of a number of senior, or at least established first-team players, on the pitch as Bielsa went with a fairly strong starting line-up, the Welshman looked completely off the pace as he led the line.

As per Sofascore, he made just four successful passes in the time that he was on the pitch, while he only had 14 touches too - both of those actually being lower than goalkeeper Illan Meslier, and a real indication of how he struggled to get into the game.

The Welshman also lost 50% of his duels, including the only one he contested in the air, and it was no surprise that after just 55 minutes on the clock, he was subbed off by Bielsa for Adam Forshaw.

And, writing in his post-match player ratings for Leeds Live, Beren Cross gave him a five, saying: "Tried to ask questions of the Fulham defence, but only got the one opening he wanted. Was well charged down by Marek Rodak."

It was a performance that raises yet more serious questions about whether he's actually good enough to be competing for a Leeds team who want to re-establish themselves as a Premier League force, especially when you consider he's now yet to score or assist in seven games this campaign.

Roberts hardly set the world alight at Elland Road last season too - he managed just one goal and provided two assists in 27 top-flight matches - despite the fact the 22-year-old seems to be a clear favourite of Bielsa's (one run of form saw him start 12 consecutive games in the Premier League).

The Leeds boss himself said: "He has played many games in a row and has shown he has the resources to justify his starting position in the team. He has virtues that are very difficult to find in football at the moment. He has all the resources necessary to unbalance offensively and still has a lot to grow to make these attempts useful and efficient."

Well, on Tuesday night, Roberts did nothing to prove why he's a starting calibre player for Leeds, and why his time in the team might well be up.

Meanwhile, this Leeds star was Bielsa's real hero vs Fulham...
