The attacker was in brilliant form for Carlos Corberan’s side as he notched up his seventh and eighth goals of the season from tap-ins after crosses into the box.
His performance against the Tigers earnt rave reviews from Leeds Live, who applauded his all-round effort in the mauling as they gave him an eight out of 10.
Reports earlier in the season made for pretty grim reading for the 18-year-old, who was said to be allowed to go out on loan by Marcelo Bielsa as the Argentine seemed to be eyeing a forward (via Football Insider).
That came after the coach had initially denied the youngster the ability to go out on a temporary deal as Bielsa looked to stick with what he had during the January transfer window.
Fans were full of good thoughts for the player, who enjoyed a brilliant game yesterday as they took to Twitter to lavish him with praise.
Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:
Class him, any reason he doesn’t get a chance

He should be part of the first team. He’s a goal scorer. And seems the perfect fit to deputise for bamford

Shades of Chris Wood with that one ! Baffling why he doesn’t get in the 1st squad

Agreed, natural Bamford replacement in the making.
