Italy’s sporting press were left frustrated with Leeds United attacker Wilfried Gnonto during Tuesday night’s European Championship qualifier against the Ukraine.
The wide-attacker was introduced with just over half an hour left to play and although he was praised for his ‘dynamism’, his final third decision-making was heavily criticised and earned him a poor 6/10 match rating.
As per the Italian media, Gnonto, who had a very good chance to put his country 3-1 up, failed to take a shot but instead of shooting turned his back on goal and slowed the move down.
“Gnonto 6/10. He has the ball at his feet to make it 3-1, he goes back. But the dynamism on the right is increasing,” Corriere dello Sport wrote in their post-match report.
