Leeds United are in great form at the moment and could end up in the top two of the Championship table this season.
Daniel Farke’s side are second in the Championship table at the moment. Leeds United have picked up 79 points from 37 matches.
Leeds are just three points behind leaders Leicester City and are a point ahead of Ipswich Town, who are fourth.
The Whites took on Sheffield Wednesday away from home at Hillsborough in the Championship on Friday evening. And they won.
Leeds won the match against their Yorkshire rivals 2-0. Patrick Bamford opened the scoring for the Whites in first-half injury time. Wilfried Gnonto added a second on 58 minutes.
Daniel Farke praises Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford
Leeds head coach Farke was hugely impressed by Bamford’s goal and has said that the Englishman is a top-class player.
The striker found the back of the net when he tapped in at the far post from Junior Firpo’s left-wing delivery.
LeedsLive quotes Farke as saying about Bamford: “Everyone speaks about the goal Bamford scored at Peterborough in the FA Cup – a worldie – but this goal tonight is for me also like a world-class striker goal.
“To have this instinct. Will Junior be there with the cross? To have the movement away from the opponent at the far post and then you still have to have the concentration to get the ball down.
“It wasn’t that easy to score and this is a sign of a top-class striker. When it counts you have to be there and you have to be clinical, so we are all happy that we have Patrick and also have him in his best shape.”
My View: Patrick Bamford is an important player for Leeds United
In my opinion, Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford is a very important player for the team.
The 30-year-old has had injury problems this season and has to fight for his place in the first team, but we should not underestimate how good he is and what he brings to the team.
The English striker has scored seven goals and given one assist in nine starts and 17 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Leeds this season.
Bamford scored 16 goals and gave two assists in 43 Championship starts for Leeds in 2019-20. The Whites won promotion to the Premier League.
In my view, Bamford could score vital goals between now and the end of the season for Leeds and get them back to the Premier League.
