Leeds United striker criticises Bolton for their role in touchline ‘handbags’.
Possibly the highlight of Leeds United’s narrow win over Bolton Wanderers was an argument between the entire set of players on the touchline.
Sky Sports reported that it was Bolton’s Josh Magennis who sparked the melee, with a foul on Ezgjan Alioski right in front of the dugout.
Leeds striker Patrick Bamford has spoken out on the fracas, and criticised Bolton for instigating it.
The forward also lambasted Bolton boss Phil Parkinson for getting involved.
He told the Yorkshire Post: “One of their players was stupid – it’s all handbags really on the pitch because no-one is really going to do anything on the pitch so I don’t know what was going on.
“And I don’t know what their manager was thinking, either. He is supposed to be the one who is probably calming his players down. He lost his head – but sometimes it happens and tempers get raised.”
Leeds won the game 2-1, with Alioski scoring the winner.
Bamford had scored a penalty in the first half before Mark Beevers equalised for Bolton.
The Whites signed Bamford for £7 million in the summer.
This was his fourth goal of the season after an injury interrupted first few months at Elland Road.
