Gjanni Alioski created the first goal for new side Al-Ahli as the Saudi team bagged their second win of the season.

The ex-Whites full-back departed Elland Road this summer as his contract came to an end, joining Al-Ahli, who compete in the top flight in Saudi Arabia, on a free transfer.

Since scoring on his Al-Ahli debut, Alioski has started every game for the Saudi side, scoring twice and bagging two assists for his new team, who sit mid-table in the Saudi Pro League, with 11 points from nine games.
