'Lifetime contract!' - Leeds United supporters thrilled as Wilfried Gnonto inspires comeback win

Leeds United fans have given their thoughts on their side's incredible comeback as they came from 3-1 down to win 4-3 in an unbelievable showing at Elland Road.

It was a quick start to the game for the hosts as Rodrigo converted his spot kick after just three minutes when Crysencio Summerville was tripped in the box by Cherries defender Marcos Senesi.

However it only took four minutes for Bournemouth to find the equaliser as Marcus Tavernier's half-volley went past Illan Meslier before Philip Billing scored to give them the lead after just 19 minutes.

Dominic Solanke gave the visitors a two-goal cushion just three minutes after halftime before Sam Greenwood fired one back for his first of the season on the 60th-minute mark.

It was captain Liam Cooper who found the eventual equaliser though after his thumping header fired past Mark Travers after a Greenwood cross towards the back post.

Incredibly, it was Summerville's winner just seven minutes from the end after a dazzling solo run from Wilfried Gnonto before his ball was floated perfectly for Summerville who slotted it home for 4-3.

Many fans took to social media to discuss the performance, with plenty highlighting the impact of Gnonto. Here's what they had to say...

@Damien_Cms: What a game. Full credit to Marsch for the subs which changed the trajectory of the game. Greenwood with a brilliant finish and an assist and Gnonto with a brilliant run and pass to assist the winner. The players dug in when 3-1 down and didn't let their heads drop. Massive 3 points
