Leeds United supporters hail 'near-perfect' Wilfried Gnonto after Cardiff City performance

Leeds Live readers have hailed Wilfried Gnonto's performance in last night's F.A Cup thrashing of Cardiff City after his two goals propelled Leeds United into the fourth round for the first time in six years.

The Italian was given the highest average rating out of any player for the second match in a row with a 9.1 out of 10, with his first-minute volley already being hailed as one of the greatest Whites' goals ever.

He also netted in the 36th minute to find his second of the match, two minutes after Rodrigo had put Leeds 2-0 up, all but sealing the win for Jesse Marsch's side.

Also putting a good performance in the view of the fans was winger Jack Harrison as his two assists garnered him a 7.3 out of 10 average rating while Max Wober earned himself a 6.2 out of 10 before going off injured in the 57th minute.

However, it wasn't all sunshine and roses for the Whites squad as fans gave centre-back Diego Llorente the lowest average rating of anyone in the starting XI with just a 5.5.
