The Leeds United striker isn’t popular in Huddersfield.

Leeds United’s Patrick Bamford is establishing himself as something of a wind-up merchant.

Considering he was booed off by Huddersfield fans in Leeds’ 2-0 win on Saturday, you could also say he’s becoming quite a good wind-up merchant to boot.

Boos echoed around The John Smith’s Stadium at the 77-minute mark yesterday when Marcelo Bielsa took Bamford off for Eddie Nketiah.

The Whites striker had been putting himself about, winning free kicks that might not have been free kicks and infuriating opposition players.

Jonathan Hogg earned himself a yellow card for having a kick at Bamford at one point.

It’s safe to say that the Leeds marksman isn’t popular in that part of Yorkshire, and here’s how Terriers supporters reacted to his antics on Saturday.

Antics aside, what a good player Bamford has been this season.

Even during his two-month dry spell on the goal front, his all-round game has always been exceptional and that’s probably why Eddie Nketiah is still waiting on his full league debut for the Whites.

Bielsa’s side, who sit top of the Championship, have now won six in a row.
