Bristol City 0-1 Leeds United highlights: Gnonto winner moves Leeds into top two
Daniel Farke welcomed his one and only January addition to the club on deadline day as Wales international Connor Roberts signed on loan until the end of the season. The 28-year-old was not registered in time to feature this evening, however, and will be made to wait until next Saturday to make his United debut.
Nevertheless, the Leeds boss welcomes Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville back into his matchday squad after the pair sat out the 1-1 draw with Plymouth Argyle six days ago. Aside from existing injuries to Pascal Struijk, Dan James and Stuart Dallas, Leeds are collectively in good health which should allow Farke to name as strong an XI as possible at Ashton Gate.

Hide AdUnited have already beaten the Robins this season, defeating what was then Nigel Pearson's side 2-1 at Elland Road in October. That game marked the beginning of Gray's stint at right-back and the 17-year-old has hardly looked back since, seeing off the likes of Luke Ayling and Djed Spence for first-choice backing from Farke in that position. Another victory over tonight's opponents will move the Whites into the automatic promotion places for the first time this season.

Bristol City vs Leeds United LIVE
Hard graft
90' Four added minutes as Byram and Summerville combine nicely down the right-hand side of the box. Shot blocked, Bristol look to break but Archie Gray there again to come away with the ball. MOTM contender.
90' Rodon with a big, big clearing header just as Bristol City loft a dangerous ball into the six-yard box. Summerville then shoved in the back. Pressure eased.
Good work
88' Summerville tries to weave his way through the City backline but comes unstuck. Robins clear but Byram, fresh off the bench, is on hand to make a sliding challenge near the touchline. Receives big applause from the travelling fans.
Keep going, lads
84' Hairy moment as Ampadu - as last man - is caught in possession. Manages to hold off the City forward and Meslier boots clear.
Chance, and sub
82' CHANCE! Summerville stands his man up as he dribbles, dribbles, dribbles & fizzes a shot across face of O'Leary's goal. Really close to finding the far corner.
Jaidon Anthony replaces Willy Gnonto, who receives warm applause from the away end.
