Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford spoke to the media following Saturday’s defeat against Crystal Palace.

The forward netted his seventh Premier League goal of the season, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Leeds from going down 4-1 at Selhurst Park.

There was however controversy, as Bamford was disallowed a goal in the first half, following an intervention from VAR ruling him offside and he gave his verdict on the game and that decision.

“I think they knew our game plan well, they jumped and took the ball in key positions,” said Bamford.

“In the first half, if it gets to 1-1 it’s a different game and things change.

“I think they deserved to win, I’m not denying that, but things could have been different.

“To be honest, I thought checking the goal would just be a formality and it would be fine.

“I’ve seen it back and I’ve been playing seven years and I don’t understand the rule now.

“You can’t score with your hand or your arm, so how is that offside? They need to make it clearer.

“I’m not just saying that because it’s my goal, I’ve seen many on the TV previously with it.

“The last two games have been disappointing, but I think we have had a solid start overall.

“It’s something to build on and maybe the international break has come at a good time for us, after two losses like that, perhaps the break will help us.”
