Giorginho Ruttel was pleased with his team's three points and clean sheet victory against Leeds United. He admitted the match was emotionally charged for him. The French striker, who joined West Brom from Leeds United in the summer of 2024, was involved in both of Diego Gomez's second-half goals. Although he has yet to score a goal this season, he was pleased with his contributions to the team.  

He said: "Yes, I am very excited. I played for Leeds United, and it was a wonderful experience. I have a close relationship with the fans, and it makes me very happy to see them. I also hope that Leeds United can stay in the Premier League. I have been following this, but the game has to go on, and I also have to consider the feelings of my teammates. Therefore, this victory is a special moment for me."  

Giorginho Rutter only managed one assist against Leeds United, but he cleverly received a low cross from Jankuba Mint, broke through defender Joe Rodon's defense, and created an easy scoring opportunity for Diego Gomez, who netted the second goal of the game. Rutter said, "I don't think they counted it as an assist, but I don't care. I knew I needed to get to the near post, and I knew Gomez was behind me, so I chose to put the ball at his feet."  

Just six minutes later, Giorginho Ruttel capitalized on Jaden Bogle's mistake, quickly advancing to the near post and passing the ball back to Diego Gomez, who easily scored the second goal, essentially sealing the victory for the match.  

Giorginho Ruttel, speaking about Diego Gomez's second goal, said: "It definitely counts as an assist, so I'm very happy and happy for him. But the most important thing isn't the assist, but that we won the game. Every time I'm on the pitch, it's to help the team."  

"Thanks to the support of head coach Fabian Schürlzer, he hasn't been discouraged even though we haven't scored yet. When I spoke with the coach, he told me that sometimes the team doesn't necessarily need you to score. The key is that if we win, you contribute to the team, and that's what matters most."  

“I’m not the kind of player who’s always thinking about scoring goals. When I have an opportunity to assist, like today, I will do it. I’m more focused on helping the team and contributing to my teammates than on scoring goals myself. This victory is very important to us; it will boost the team’s confidence. We were in poor form last week, suffering two defeats. I think this victory and the clean sheet are encouraging results, and I hope the team can continue this good momentum.”
