There was a time, not so long ago, when mentioning Crystal Palace to Patrick Bamford would have rekindled some unhappy memories.
Thanks to one swish of his left boot, Palace will bring nothing other than a smile for the Leeds striker. No longer will they be a reminder of a wretched loan spell in 2015 and a ridiculous VAR decision last November; now they will be the team against whom he brought up his century.
Bamford’s 100th club goal put the gloss on an excellent night for Marcelo Bielsa, as Leeds dominated from start to finish to run out convincing winners and register their first success at Elland Road since December 27.
