WILFRIED GNONTO scored a sensational scissor kick 26 SECONDS into Leeds’ FA Cup replay with Cardiff.
The Whites needed a last-gasp goal in the first game to send the tie to a replay and Jesse Marsch’s side made the perfect start to this one.
In the first attack of the game, Rodrigo sent a cross to the far post and Gnonto watched the ball over his shoulder before taking aim.
And the Italy international, who scored his first Leeds goal against West Ham earlier this month, sent a stunning first-time volley into the net.
But it wasn’t any ordinary volley, it was a scissor kick, which left Cardiff goalkeeper Jak Alnwick with no chance.
And some fans have likened the goal to a similar one that ex-West Ham star Paulo Di Canio scored more than 20 years ago.
