Plymouth Argyle 0-2 Leeds United highlights: Gnonto and Georginio help Whites extend winning run to eight
United are unbeaten in ten across all competitions since the turn of the year and have already faced Plymouth twice in 2024. Leeds' first fixture against the Pilgrims this calendar year was a 1-1 draw in the FA Cup Fourth Round at Elland Road, followed by a 4-1 victory, after extra time, at Home Park.
Daniel Farke and his side return this weekend in the league, a competition they have been imperious in since New Year, maintaining a 100 per cent record, defeating teams such as Cardiff City, Birmingham City, Rotherham United and Swansea City emphatically.

Plymouth Argyle vs Leeds United LIVE
52' Great cross from the left by Mickel Miller. Waine and Devine stretching for it in the middle but neither can reach the inviting ball. Let-off for Leeds. Any touch would've taken it beyond Meslier.
HT: Plymouth 0-1 Leeds
Relatively even contest, Leeds edging it so far. Gnonto's fifth goal in as many matches the difference at the break.
GOO....Offside
45' Ball in the net but Leeds offside in the build-up. Gnonto found well on the right flank, crosses first time and Ashley Phillips turns it into his own goal but the assistant's flag has already been raised on the far side.
Woodwork
39' POST! Georginio hits the woodwork, weaving one way then the other, after some great approach play by Piroe.
Breakaway
33' From the resulting corner, Leeds break as Kamara plays Summerville in to acres of open space. Plymouth's last man makes a last ditch tackle on halfway, but gets it spot on.
Doing a job
32' Ampadu makes an important block inside the Leeds area. Houghton had a real chance to find a green shirt in the middle but #LUFC skipper sticks out a leg and concedes a corner instead.
Waaaaayward
26' Miller shoots from range but finds the away end rather than the back of Meslier's net.
Good work
18' Gnonto affecting the game at both ends, tracking back to deny Miller a clean strike on goal. Gets a goal kick out of it as well.
None given
17' Plymouth appeal for a penalty as Joe Rodon controls a cross into his midriff. Would've been harsh had it been given.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL GNONTOOOO
10' Big hoof up into the air from Georginio is controlled by Gnonto inside the penalty area, goes round a Plymouth defender and slots into the bottom corner via the base of the post. Perfect start.
The Glen is my Shepherd
7' Meslier puts Leeds under pressure with his distribution, straight to a Plymouth man. Home side come forward in numbers but Kamara eventually shepherds out of play for a goal kick.
