Gnonto’s gesture
Wilfried Gnonto is always among those Leeds United players to wander out onto the pitch before the warm-ups begin to check out the surface and take in the surroundings. This time, though, rather than hurrying back down the tunnel to get ready, Gnonto spent a good 10 minutes or so signing autographs and taking pictures with the children that were gathered near the dugouts at the foot of the West Stand.
The Italy international didn’t leave until every request had been satisfied and he seemed to relish spending time with the supporters. Gnonto was named as a substitute for the second game running against Brighton, but he helped to change the game in the second half when he came on and picked up the assist for Jack Harrison’s effort.
