Patrick Bamford scores ‘Puskas contender’ with FA Cup screamer for Leeds
Watch out Alejando Garnacho, Patrick Bamford has arrived.
The Leeds striker may have wrapped up the FA Cup goal of the tournament, and even challenge for the Puskas Award.
The former England striker put Leeds 2-0 up against Peterborough in the third round, and did so in stunning fashion.
Collecting a launched pass from Ethan Ampadu, Bamford controlled it deftly with his chest, and then volleyed in with his left foot from range.
Peterborough's Fynn Talley didn't have a chance, and Bamford was able to jog away wagging his finger at possibly the greatest goal of his career.
One person wrote on X: "Patrick Bamford wow! Another Puskas worthy goal."
Another added: «Patrick Bamford winning the Puskás award one week into the year wasn't on my bingo list.»
Garnacho might not be too worried, with his overhead kick for Manchester United against Everton already being compared to the Premier League's greatest-ever goals.
However, Pedro Porro might be a little miffed, with the wing-back scoring a stunner for Tottenham two days earlier.
The Portuguese looked to have bagged the highlight of the FA Cup so far with a laser-like match-winner against Burnley.
SIMPLY. BREATHTAKING.
PATRICK BAMFORD. OH MY WORD.
