Patrick Bamford was possibly Leeds United’s best player last night.
Patrick Bamford has commented on Leeds United’s ‘pretty special’ win last night.
The Whites hitman inspired a stunning second-half comeback as Marcelo Bielsa’s side beat Millwall 3-2 at Elland Road after trailing 2-0 at the break.
Bamford, a £10 million signing in 2018 [BBC Sport], scored three minutes after the restart and again on 66 minutes following Pablo Hernandez’s equaliser.
Leeds, as they so often do, gave themselves a mountain to climb, but the West Yorkshire club scaled it and now sit top of the Championship as a result.
Bamford told LUTV: “It’s not nice being 2-0 down but to come back from it is pretty special and we’ve shown we can do that quite a lot.
“Hopefully we don’t have to do it too many more times, but it’s a good three points.”
It might be an understatement to call it ‘a good three points’.
Bielsa’s side hadn’t won a game in 2020 before last night, winning one point from their last three Championship outings prior to kickoff.
That mini slump resulted in Leeds only having a four-point cushion in the automatic promotion places, which is still the case, but this win could, in theory, give them a bit of a turbo charge for the next few weeks.
Confidence is a massive thing in football and hopefully for their sake this victory can be the first in a series to come.
