Leeds striker Patrick Bamford admits chasing Premier League Golden Boot

Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford admits he's chasing the Premier League Golden Boot this season.

Bamford scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot as Leeds beat Burnley 1-0.

The 27-year-old is now just three goals behind Liverpool's Mohamed Salah, who is currently the Premier League's top scorer.

Bamford told Sky Sports: "It's a good achievement. I'm really happy. Don't stop now, there's a lot of hard work to be done, but it keeps me in touch with the top scorer."

Asked whether his aim is to win the golden boot, Bamford replied: "Why not? If I don't make it then at least I've set my standards high. It's a big push but you've got to keep working and set your targets high and then you never know."
