Leeds attacker Willy Gnonto has laughed off comparisons with fellow Italian Paolo Di Canio after scoring a scissor-kick volley in a 5-2 win over Cardiff.
Gnonto has received a number of plaudits for his performances of late and took just 26 seconds to open the scoring against the Bluebirds at Elland Road. The Italian international produced a sensational volley into the roof of the net, and then bagged his brace just two minutes after Rodrigo had fired Leeds into a two-goal lead.
The 19-year-old has now scored three goals for Leeds since his summer arrival from FC Zurich, but Gnonto modestly observed that Di Canio's iconic volley against Wimbledon in 2000 was the better goal.
