OH, LET IT GO! I'M SO SORRY

Bamford still gets trolled over THAT dive against Villa two years ago despite apologising for his bad behaviour

- DAVID ANDERSON

PATRICK BAMFORD claims he still gets trolled over his dive to get Aston Villa’s Anwar El Ghazi sent off two years ago.

Bamford went down pretending he had been hit in the face by El Ghazi during the melee following Leeds’ hugely controversial goal in the 1-1 draw at Elland Road, with the Villa striker dismissed (the incident plays out, above).

El Ghazi’s red card was overturned on appeal and Bamford was hit with a two-match ban for deceiving the referee.

The Leeds striker has apologised for his behaviour and says he still gets mocked on social media.

Tonight will be the first time the sides have met at Elland Road since that infamous clash and Bamford said: “I still get sent flipping GIFs and memes of me falling on the floor from that game and I’m, ‘Come on, let it go, I’m so sorry’.”
