Willy Gnonto and Patrick Bamford could both yet play an important role for Sam Allardyce at Leeds United this season after comments made during the new manager’s first press conference.

The pair combined for Leeds’ only goal away at AFC Bournemouth last weekend, in what was a rare display of attacking cohesion. Gnonto picked up the ball on the left flank, drove inside and floated a cross onto the 29-year-old centre-forward’s head to restore hope and a little bit of pride as United went in 2-1 down at the break.

Ultimately, Bamford’s fourth Premier League goal of the season mattered little at full-time, Leeds having lost 4-1 to the Cherries.
