BIRTHDAY-BOY Wilfriend Gnonto was head over heels as he celebrated his Elland Road debut – then took a hilarious tumble after Crysencio Summerville’s dramatic winner.

Gnonto, 19, helped spark wild scenes in Yorkshire with his superb driving run six minutes from time.

The Italian threaded the ball through for Summerville who finished expertly to secure back-to-back wins – after Leeds trailed 3-1.

But as Gnonto tried to celebrate with the match-winner, Summerville’s gentle push sent his pal flying.

The versatile attacking forward did a full roly-poly right in front of the jubilant home fans.

He then tried to get up and catch up with the rest of his team-mates who raced towards the dugout and manager Jesse Marsch.

However, Gnonto comically stacked it again and completed another fall before eventually getting back to his feet.

Fans certainly saw the funny side as the blunder prompted plenty of witty tweets.
