# Leeds United: Fans impressed as Patrick Bamford ends goal drought against Blackburn

**Leeds United will go into the international break on a positive note after beating Blackburn Rovers 2-1, and one of the heroes of the day was a player who has [split opinion](https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-mills-claims-fans-would-rather-have-kept-roofe-over-bamford/) over the past couple of months. Patrick Bamford took the penalty that broke the deadlock in the 30th minute, as he [calmly slotted the ball into the bottom right](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp6NgqJyRCI&feature=onebox) of the net, sending the Blackburn keeper the wrong way.**

He’s picked up [criticism for his lack of goals](https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/latest-leeds-united-news/jon-newsome-joins-calls-leeds-united-duo-patrick-bamford-and-eddie-nketiah-start-together-821505) this season, having scored just [five in 16 appearances and one in the last nine](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/109670/Show/Patrick-Bamford) for the Whites. 20-year-old Eddie Nketiah has been putting pressure on Marcelo Bielsa to hand him a start after scoring [three times in just 265 minutes](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/345845/Show/Eddie-Nketiah) on the pitch this season, but [it’s been said that](https://www.footballinsider247.com/whelan-shares-what-hes-been-told-by-leeds-united-player-savaged-by-fans/) the manager has kept Bamford in the side because of his all-round play and not just his end product. He certainly showed he has that on Saturday with the goal and an assist.

The club’s official Twitter account posted a picture of the 26-year-old’s passionate celebration after his goals with the caption “pure passion!” and nearly fifty fans jumped into the replies to congratulate him on his performance which saw him score 7.51/10 on [Who Scored.](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/109670/Show/Patrick-Bamford)
