CHRIS WHEELER: Teenager Willy Gnonto had to wait for his chance at Leeds despite being good enough for Italy's senior side... now after two vital contributions off the bench, the forward is pushing for a start

Willy Gnonto was 15 yards outside his own box when the ball reached him at Elland Road in the 84th minute on Saturday.

Leeds skipper Liam Cooper headed Lewis Cook's free kick clear as Bournemouth pushed for a late winner with the scores level at 3-3, and suddenly Gnonto was away. There wasn't a moment of hesitation from the young Italy international on his home debut and 19th birthday.

Head down, Gnonto accelerated towards halfway. Marcos Senesi tried shoving him in the back but the 5ft 5in forward had the balance and low centre of gravity to stay on his feet as he approached the Bournemouth goal.
