Patrick Bamford: ‘RKO outta nowhere’
Leeds fans have felt victimised this season.
That’s mainly down to how the club were treated in the wake of ‘Spygate’.
To recap, manager Marcelo Bielsa confirmed that he’d spied on all of Leeds’ opponents this season.
Against Swansea, Leeds fans could believe that they didn’t win a penalty.
The incident in question happened in the 55th minute, as Patrick Bamford was hauled down in the Swans penalty box.
In an off-the-ball clash with Swansea’s Mike van der Hoorn, Bamford was body-slammed to the turf.
