Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford had a successful full debut at Elland Road.

Bamford opened the scoring for Leeds in their Carabao Cup tie against Bolton Wanderers.

Leeds won the game 2-1, with Samu Saiz scoring the Whites’ second.

Bamford was starting his first game for Leeds, having come on as a substitute at the weekend against Derby County.

He sent a message to supporters following the fixture.

Leeds paid £7 million to sign Bamford in the transfer window from Middlesbrough and are not rushing him into the side.

That is due to the impressive form for Kemar Roofe, who has led the line effectively for Marcelo Bielsa’s side in their opening two Championship games.

Bamford did everything he could last night to try and earn a starting role, but it will not be a surprise if he is back on the bench this weekend for the game at home to Rotherham.
