Leeds boss Marsch discusses Gnonto's full debut

Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch was satisfied with Willy Gnonto's full debut in defeat to Tottenham.

It was the teen's first start in the Premier League.

After the 4-3 loss, Marsch said: "In general, we really like Willy. I think his mentality to improve, his understanding of tactics, his intelligence, they're all at a really high level. So for a young player, he doesn't play like a young player which is great to see.

"He was really effective coming from the bench against Bournemouth.

"I think he was also good in this match but when we looked at the fact that we needed to make some tactical changes, we thought that that made the most sense to take him off."
