Middlesbrough 3-0 Leeds: Boro striker Patrick Bamford hits hat-trick to down Paul Heckingbottom's side
Patrick Bamford's hat-trick was enough to lift Tony Pulis' Middlesbrough side in to the Championship play-off places on a cold Friday night in the north east.
The 24-year-old striker hit Leeds twice in a five minute spell towards the end of the first half before controversially completing his hat-trick from an offside position in the second half.
