Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch watched Willy Gnonto's stunning goal against Cardiff in awe.

The youngster scored within 26 seconds as Leeds picked up a comfortable 5-2 win over the Championship side in the FA Cup third round replay.

Gnonto got onto a Rodrigo cross and smashed the ball into the net with a scissors effort.

Post-match, Marsch admitted: We asked for a fast start and it couldn't have gone any better.

It was a good diagonal ball from Rodrigo, really clever from Willy to fox the defender and then an incredible finish. He's really happy with that. We knew about him for a while and we initially had a little more of an idea to bring him in the future.

But we brought him in early and he's shown what he can do. He is very humble, grounded and a real human being who wants to improve. He's worth more than four million now. I like working with young, attacking explosive talent."
