Leeds ace Bamford: We were ROBBED

Patrick Bamford felt Leeds were "robbed of a point" after the striker had an equalising goal ruled out in Friday's 1-0 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The hosts took the lead just after the hour when Adama Traore hit a thunderous effort from distance against the crossbar but the ball rebounded off the back of Illan Meslier's head into the Leeds goal.

Bamford thought he had snatched an equaliser late on as he powered through on goal before finishing brilliantly but he was flagged offside, with the video assistant referee agreeing it was the correct decision.

Bamford had a goal chalked off by VAR in a 4-1 defeat against Crystal Palace in November, having been ruled offside after raising his arm to point where he wanted a pass playing to, and the 27-year-old was once again aggrieved by a decision made by the technology.

"Gutted for the lads tonight, robbed of a point," he tweeted, before sarcastically adding: "But at least it's making the game better, we go again Tuesday."
