Leeds United striker produced important performance.
Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford stepped up against Preston.
His brace was the perfect response to criticism he received after he failed to score against Birmingham days earlier.
Bamford’s goals made the difference, giving Leeds a 2-0 win.
Selflessly, Bamford did not make it all about himself.
While this would have been a moment to gloat, Bamford’s message after the game focused on the team, and how important it was to get back.
Bamford is now up to nine goals for the season, not a bad tally considering he missed four months of action with injury.
That makes him Leeds third highest goalscorer behind Kemar Roofe (14) and Pablo Hernandez (12).
Bamford averages 133 minutes per goal, which is better than Roofe’s record of one every 160.
