​Leeds striker Bamford: I've got myself in my fantasy team!

Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford joked he had selected himself in his fantasy football team.

The attacker has been in excellent form this season with the newly promoted club.

Bamford and Leeds continued their rise this weekend, beating Leicester City 3-1 away from home.

The Englishman got a goal and two assists in the game.

Asked about those assists, Bamford told Sky Sports: "Hopefully you're seeing that every game but yeah it was nice to get the assists.

"I think a lot of the boys expected me to shoot on the last one but Jack had it on a plate so I couldn't shoot.

"I've got myself in my own fantasy team so!

"But if I shoot there and I miss it's not worth it so for the team we needed that extra comfort."
