Patrick Bamford scored twice for Leeds United against Cardiff City at Elland Road on Saturday.
Bamford scored twice for Leeds in their 3-3 draw with Cardiff at Elland Road in the Championship.
The 26-year-old former Nottingham Forest and Chelsea prospect scored his first goal after just eight minutes and then from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute.
The striker was substituted in the 77th minute, with Arsenal-owned striker Eddie Nketiah coming on in his place.
Leeds looked set to win the match at that stage, and Bamford has admitted that he thought that it was all done in terms of a positive result.
The former Middlesbrough striker has also admitted that he was “disappointed” at being substituted.
Bamford said on BBC Radio Leeds: “To be honest, as I was going off, I was a bit tired and I was a bit disappointed because obviously I wanted to get a hat-trick and stuff, but going off, I thought, ‘The game’s done. We have won. We can be happy. I can go and watch the rest of the game.’ Then it turns around.”
Meanwhile, Bielsa has said that his Leeds players remained calmed despite conceding goals, and has also outlined his half-time team talk.
Bielsa told Leeds Live: “One part of the season when the match was in the last part, I saw the team was a little nervous, but wasn’t what happened tonight. Today the team was calm and 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 our team was calm and in control. Clearly, we received three goals we cannot explain.”
The Leeds boss added: “Honestly, in the first half they had three throws that created danger. The player receiving the throw-in in the first half, he had White at his back and Bamford in front of him.
“You know in one ball of 30 metres, Cardiff player’s head and not ours. After the first half I told our players, I said to Patrick and others, don’t be static in front and back, give him some metres and when the ball comes, make a short sprint to jump better.”
