Leeds United summer signing Wilfried Gnonto played 27 minutes as Italy defeated England at the San Siro on Friday. Gli Azzuri condemned the Three Lions to three straight defeats for the first time in eight years and relegated them from their UEFA Nations League group.
Italy’s Giacomo Raspadori smashed the decisive strike beyond Nick Pope within five minutes of Gnonto coming off the bench for Gianluca Scamacca. Gnonto has made quite an impression during the infant stages of his international career.
He became Italy’s youngest ever goal scorer in June’s 5-2 defeat in Germany and earned his fifth senior cap against England. The 18-year-old was signed late on transfer deadline day from FC Zurich, while Daniel James headed out of the exit door on a season-long loan to Fulham.
