Patrick Bamford’s brace has skewed figures in his favour.
Patrick Bamford’s brace in midweek was a turning point for his season and for Leeds.
This took his tally for the season to nine goals, not bad considering his four month spell out injured.
Well Bamford now has a goals per minute ratio which is better than Kemar Roofe, and Chris Wood’s prolific 2016/17 season at Leeds.
Wood netted 27 goals in Garry Monk’s side, earning a £15 million move to Burnley the next summer.

The gap is only very slight, but Bamford now has a superior record.
BBC Sport report Bamford is averaging a goal ever 133 minutes for Leeds this season.
Signed for £7 million, Bamford might still turn out to be a bargain.
Top scorer Kemar Roofe, on 14 goals, has a goal to his name every 160 minutes.
Bamford will have to keep scoring to maintain his record as superior to Wood, but right now he can feel satisfied with where he is at.
