Description:
A great shot here from the Revie Stand at Elland Road looking down at one of the best sights in the world. The ball nestling in the back of the oppositions net, this one coming after Davide Somma had just netted the fourth for Leeds. The shot coming from the Football League Championship game against Scunthorpe United at Elland Road on the 15th January, 2011. Davide replaced Sanchez Watt in the game against The Iron on 81 minutes and scored the fourth just eight minutes later.
South African Davide Somma earned himself an extended spell with the Whites after he was brought in on loan in July 2009. After impressing in the 2009-10 pre-season friendlies which included a goal against Newport County manager Simon Grayson made the extended period permanent in September 2009. On 26th November, 2009 Davide was loaned out to Chesterfield for one month in a bid to aid his development in the English game but missed a lot of the Spireites games through injury. After a brief return to Elland Road he was again loaned out this time to Lincoln City on the 25th February, 2010 to gain more first team experience. Somma made a great impression for the Imps scoring nine goals in just fourteen appearances for the club which helped secure Lincoln's survival in Division Two. Somma returned to Leeds after his loan period with Lincoln finished, his strong performances for Lincoln earned Somma an extended stay with The Whites for at least another year. Manager Grayson had said that Somma is part of his plans and will not be going out on loan for the 2010–11 season. After signing for Leeds Somma became the fifth South African to play for the club he follows Gerry Francis, Albert Johanneson, Lucas Radebe and Phil Masinga. Leeds United: Schmeichel, Connolly, Bruce, O'Brien, McCartney, Johnson, Howson, Snodgrass, Watt, Gradel, Becchio. Subs: Paynter for Becchio, McCormack for Snodgrass, Somma for Watt.
