Roy Keane says Wilfried Gnonto's second goal in Leeds United's 5-1 victory over Cardiff City reminded him of his former Manchester United teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The 19-year-old scored a stunning volley within 26 seconds to fire Leeds into an early lead, which earned comparisons to Paolo Di Canio's iconic volley against Wimbledon in 2000.
Earnshaw revealed at half-time: "To do it with your right foot as well, that's an unbelievable finish. Over the shoulder, right foot, but it's great technique. That is world class level."
Rodrigo rounded Cardiff goalkeeper Jak Alnwick to double Leeds' advantage, after being threaded through with a sensational through ball from Jack Harrison.

Gnonto then bagged his brace with a clinical finish from the edge of the penalty area beyond Alnwick at his near post. And his second goal prompted comparisons to Man United legend Solskjaer.
"The top strikers seem to always put it between players legs. They hit it early and back across the goalkeeper. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer used to do it all the time. Ole is obviously one of the greatest finishers of all-time."
Keane, and his fellow panellist Earnshaw both agreed that the Italian international needed to add goals to his game prior to kick-off, and Gnonto answered those questions in majestic style.
""I was watching the game against Villa and the more he plays, the more impressive he is, and he is a very good footballer. What I like about him is, he's 19-years-old but he's got intelligence," Earnshaw said before kick-off.
"He has got the right weight of pass, he sees things, he pops it off when needs be. He doesn't overdo it and he's got that game intelligence. I think the one thing is, how does he get better? He's played for Italy and he's scored a goal. But in the goals department, he needs to get more goals."
Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane added: "He's obviously got a bit of talent, but the big question mark over the next few months and years for the player is end product. Particularly goals and assists. Young player, early days for him yet."
Patrick Bamford emerged from the bench to add two more goals for Leeds, before Callum Robinson became the third man to bag a brace with two late consolations.
