His three goals took Bamford’s goal tally to 32 for the Whites in 78 games, and after only scoring one Premier League goal in his first 27 appearances in the top flight, he now has six in his last six, which is an impressive turnaround.
The striker’s tweet continued to draw the attention of many Leeds fans, who were buzzing with Bamford.
two out of your three goals were absolutely world class last night! The other was alright i suppose ?

I’ll be honest ‘Hatrick’, in the past I have given you some stick. However you have seriously made me eat humble pie and changed my opinions on you. Thank you. Last nights performance was superb. Keep up the good work.??

Bamford, who is valued at £9 million (as per Transfermarkt), missed chances in the first half, but that didn’t matter as he rattled home a second-half hat-trick.
Before the season started, former Whites boss David O’Leary stated that the 27-year-old had been too wasteful with chances and that he would have liked to see Leeds sign a ‘top-class’ striker.
To be fair, looking at Bamford’s record in the top flight before this season, you could argue that there was cause for concern.
However, he has had a superb start to the campaign, and these Leeds fans are clearly delighted with Bamford’s hat-trick and performances this season.
