Leeds United cruised past Rotherham last month but were given a helping hand by their leading man.
Patrick Bamford has revealed what went down in the aftermath of his controversial goal in the 3-0 win against Rotherham last month. Bamford opened the scoring in unorthodox fashion at Elland Road to break down a battling Rotherham defence inside 10 minutes. The striker got on the end of Junior Firpo's deflected cross but appeared to flick the ball in with his elbow before reeling away and celebrating by flicking his arm up in the air.
'I ran off and as I’m running off, I tried to make it look normal. Looked back and their players are going mental. The ref’s given the goal. Stupidly, I did a celebration where I tapped my elbow. The goal was already given. “Afterwards, we’re walking back to the centre circle – one of their players asked me, ‘did you handball it?’ I said yeah. The ref said, ‘did it touch your hand?’, before it had kicked off again.
