Neville said about Bamford on Sky Sports Premier League (10:04pm, April 19, 2021): “He is brilliant on the pitch in terms of his work ethic.
“Leeds were wearing Liverpool down towards the end. Liverpool were better in the first half, they were really good.
“In the second half, though, Leeds got stronger and stronger, and he is leading from the front, he is running, the way in which he closes people down, they outrun every single team they play.”
