Leeds attacker Gnonto: Di Canio's goal was better!

Leeds attacker Willy Gnonto was delighted with his double in their 5-2 FA Cup rout of Cardiff City.

Gnonto's opener is being compared with Paolo Di Canio's famous volley for West Ham.

But he says: “I have not scored before with my first touch I think this is the first time. We wanted to start the game well and we did it. We did a great match," he said.

“We had a lot of chances, we could have scored even more, but we take the positives.

“I remember the Paolo Di Canio goal, I think his was better!

“We wanted to win in front of our fans. We tried our best and wanted to show what we could do.

“We need to continue that on Sunday."
