Patrick Bamford scored one and created two goals as Leeds United ended Leicester City’s seven-match unbeaten run and denied Brendan Rodgers’ side a move up to second in the Premier League with an entertaining 3-1 victory on Sunday.

Harvey Barnes scored the opener for Leicester City in the 13th minute but their lead lasted only two minutes when Stuart Dallas scored the equaliser with a goal identical to Barnes’ opener.

Leeds then took the lead with 20 minutes to go through Bamford and scored a third from a counter-attack as Bamford sprinted into space before unselfishly squaring the ball for Jack Harrison to fire into an empty net.
