It was a highly comfortable afternoon for the Whites, who could have won by a larger margin. Their victory was largely facilitated by a contentious goal from Patrick Bamford and two more from Crysencio Summerville.
Daniel Farke stuck with the same lineup that triumphed over Bristol City last Friday, which meant Willy Gnonto received his fourth consecutive start in place of the absent Dan James.
Although Gnonto didn’t extend his scoring streak to three matches today after finding the net in the previous two games, his performance was notably improved compared to earlier matches.
Aidy White, a pundit speaking on BBC Radio Leeds after the match, noted that Gnonto appears to be regaining his old form, with his recent goal seemingly lifting a burden off his shoulders.
“He performed very well today. Over the past few games, he’s seemed to regain his confidence. Previously, it looked like he was carrying some baggage, perhaps still trying to shake off the effects of the summer break and prove himself too forcefully.
His performances seemed somewhat forced before, but now he resembles the energetic, direct player he used to be. It seems like he’s rediscovered his form, which is a positive development.”
