It was a stunning goal—a beautiful first-time finish into the top corner after a brilliant cut-back from Junior Firpo. Firpo’s assist ended a 23-year streak, making him the first Leeds defender since Ian Harte to reach 10 assists.

Gnonto’s second goal brought his tally to 15 in just 80 appearances for the Whites, along with eight assists. Celebrating his achievement, he took to Instagram to share his delight, as his star continues to rise at Leeds.

Daniel Farke revealed he’s working to make Wilfried Gnonto “more flexible” in attack to help fill the void left by Rutter and Summerville. Gnonto proved the plan is working on Saturday with a standout performance, while Rutter found the net for Brighton the same weekend. Farke’s strategy is already paying off as Gnonto adapts to his new role.

Daniel Farke has expressed his intention to make Wilfried Gnonto “more flexible” in attack, aiming to fill the gaps left by the departures of Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter. With both players having played pivotal roles for Leeds, Farke recognizes the need for adaptability within his squad, and Gnonto has quickly become a focal point of this strategy.

Farke’s efforts to shape Gnonto into a versatile attacker were on full display during Saturday’s match, where the Italian forward rose to the occasion. Gnonto’s brilliant performance came on a weekend that also saw Rutter score for Brighton, adding another layer of complexity to the reshuffling process at Leeds. While Rutter has moved on, his form elsewhere shows just how important his role was, leaving a significant gap for Farke to fill.

However, Gnonto proved he’s more than capable of stepping up. With his second goal of the match, a beautiful first-time finish into the top corner following a superb cut-back from Junior Firpo, Gnonto not only helped Leeds secure the win but also showcased his ability to thrive in an evolving tactical system. Firpo’s assist, which broke a 23-year record previously held by Ian Harte as the first Leeds defender to reach 10 assists, was another highlight of the match.

Gnonto’s impressive goal brought his total tally to 15 goals in just 80 appearances for Leeds, along with eight assists. It’s clear that Farke’s push to expand his attacking flexibility is paying off. Gnonto celebrated his performance with a post on Instagram, sharing his excitement and joy with his followers.

As Farke continues to shape this new-look Leeds side, the growing role of players like Gnonto will be key in replacing the talents of Rutter and Summerville. With each passing game, Gnonto proves he has the potential to fill those shoes and become a driving force in Leeds’ attack.
