Paolo Di Canio has congratulated Wilfried Gnonto on his blistering start to life in the Premier League, and also alluded to the teenager's 'beautiful' goal against Cardiff City.
Leeds paid just under £4million to prise Gnonto from FC Zurich on transfer deadline day in September, and the 19-year-old has been nothing short of a revelation since his breakthrough into the first team in November. Gnonto is fast becoming indispensable for Leeds this term, and scored the opening goal in their 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
The Italian international also impressed with his brace in the Whites' 5-2 triumph over Cardiff City last month. He opened the scoring inside the opening minute with a stunning scissor kick volley, which has been compared to Di Canio's iconic Premier League goal in West Ham's 2-1 victory over Wimbledon in March 2000.
