Leeds United fans have jumped to the defence of Patrick Bamford.
Leeds United fans have called for an apology from Hull City defender Eric Lichaj.
Lichaj accused Leeds striker Patrick Bamford of deliberately injuring Hull goalkeeper George Long.
Lichaj told BBC Humberside: “Professional footballers, you know what you’re doing. He know what he’s doing, he could get out of the way but he doesn’t.
“It’s not good, especially if you’re leaving knees to people’s heads, this is not part of the game and needs to be stamped out.”
A video of the incident tweeted out by Yorkshire Evening Post’s Graham Smyth seems to clear Bamford of any deliberate contact.
Bamford has become a bit of a favourite at Leeds after the way he has contributed to the side this season.
His defensive work has become just as important as his goals and it is clear to see why manager Marcelo Bielsa is such a fan and has refused to drop him.
Leeds supporters were furious at Lichaj’s claim and have now called for the Hull defender to apologise to Bamford for a wrongful accusation.
