Pat on the head

ON FIRE BAMFORD STRIKES AGAIN

- DAVE CRAVEN

COMEBACK king Patrick Bamford continued his renaissance as Leeds moved within two points of the Championship top-two. 

The striker’s 16th-minute winner was his fourth goal in five games.

The one-time England international, 30, did not score in any of his opening 16 matches, all of which he started on the bench.

But since earning back a starting spot and netting in the 3-0 victory over Birmingham on New Year’s Day, he has been electric.

Moments before last night’s goal – which put Leeds within touching distance of second-placed Ipswich – Bamford attempted an acrobatic overhead kick to show he was in the mood.
