Leeds forward criticised after being caught on his phone while on the bench

Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto has drawn criticism after being spotted on his phone while sat on the bench during Italy U21’s 7-0 win over San Marino on Thursday.

Gnonto wore the captain’s armband during the first half of the Azzurrini’s thrashing of minnows San Marino in Latina, maintaining their unbeaten record in U21 Euro qualifying after eight games.

The 20-year-old put in a bright performance with eight of his nine attempted dribbles completed, while he hit two shots on target and created two chances.
