‘I always thought we could win’ – Gnonto

Must read

Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto’s introduction as a substitute proved to be a match-changing moment after the Italy international scored the winning goal in the 91st minute in a 4-3 spectacular against Swansea City.

Though the Whites went into half-time 2-1 down, Gnonto told BBC Radio Leeds that he did not doubt that his side would come out victorious.

“I always thought we could win it, even when we were losing we knew we had the chance to win,” Gnonto said.

“You can see the coach bringing on me, Mateo [Joseph], he made a statement. We wanted to win and we are happy to do it.”

The win lifted Leeds to the top of the Championship table, with the super sub feeling confident going into their next game against Luton Town on Wednesday.
