'Fantastic' - Leeds United supporters react to Under-21s win as Wilfried Gnonto scores

Leeds United fans have given their thoughts on the Under-21s' 1-0 win over Sunderland Under-21s at the Stadium of Light after summer signing Wilfried Gnonto scored his first goal in Whites colours.

In a game the Whites were widely considered favourites, Gnonto broke the deadlock after 53 minutes as he fired the ball past Black Cats goalkeeper Jacob Carney at his near post from inside the area.

Leeds extended their lead at the top of the Premier League 2 Division 2 table to four points with their sixth win of the season as they pulled further clear of Norwich City Under-21s.
