'Gnonto just did a Di Canio!': Fans go wild after Leeds winger nets stunning scissor-kick volley against Cardiff... as his sensational goal is compared to his fellow Italian's famous strike for West Ham 23 years ago

Leeds winger Wilfried Gnonto scored a stunning scissor-kick volley to give his side the lead against Cardiff in their FA Cup replay, with fans comparing his strike to a famous Paolo Di Canio goal for West Ham in 2000.

Having been held to a 2-2 draw in the first meeting between the two sides, Leeds attacked Cardiff straight from the kick-off, and Rodrigo floated an ambitious pass to the back post.

With the ball dropping over the head of a defender, Gnonto kept his eye off the ball and with both feet off the ground volleyed past the helpless Jak Alnwick.
