Deal Done: Leeds united key player terminated his contract worth $60 million and set back to………
At Elland Road, things didn’t go well at all as Will Keane gave the visitors the lead after only one minute following a free kick that caused a rush in the box.
Leeds subsequently leveled the score with a header from Daniel James, and while they had plenty of chances in the second half, they were unable to finish well in front of goal. Ultimately, a late penalty kick by Piroe salvaged all three points at Elland Road.
A really subpar performance from the Frenchman. Playing in the gap between midfield and attack, he found it difficult to make any kind of an impression and missed many opportunities to score, including a clear header from 10 yards out.
A bad day for him was summed up by only 14 passes completed, two of his 13 dribbling attempts completed, and a yellow card for diving.
Similar to Rutter, he found it difficult to have a significant impact on the game, but once he got the ball, his fast feet and quickness gave the defense a lot of difficulty. He may earn at least one assist on another day, but not now.
Hopefully, Bamford hasn’t just gone back to his usual ways following his recent winning streak; his performance today was reminiscent of his previous self. Leeds was lacking once more in the final third due to a lack of precision in his passing and a lack of confidence in his finishing.
