Leeds United star sets Premier League season record with impressive Bournemouth assist

Leeds United attacker Wilfried Gnonto set a season record in the Premier League with his assist for Crysencio Summerville against Bournemouth on Saturday. The 19-year-old's run before providing the pass for Summerville's winner was the longest carry (58 metres) leading to a goal in the Premier League this season.

Gnonto was making his first appearance at Elland Road at the weekend after coming off the bench for Jack Harrison at half time. His performance showed some huge signs of promise and his assist for the winning goal was a sign of both his quality and maturity as a player despite his age.

Gnonto received the ball from just outside his own penalty area thanks to a well cushioned header by captain Liam Cooper. In what was a frantic game, rather than clearing the ball just aimlessly up the pitch, Gnonto decided to drive beyond two Bournemouth challenges and into the attacking half.
