Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa challenges Patrick Bamford to 'maintain consistency' after the striker scored the 100th goal of his career against Crystal Palace

Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has challenged Patrick Bamford not to let his scoring standards slip after the striker brought up a century of goals.

Bamford, 27, netted his 12th league goal of the season in Monday's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

That took him to 100 career goals and earned him more praise from outside Elland Road.

Bielsa paid tribute to the striker, who has also amassed five assists in 22 Premier League appearances, but urged him to maintain those standards until the end of the season.

'It's praise that is deserved,' the Leeds boss said on Friday.
