Patrick Bamford admits he kicked a ball into Marcelo Bielsa's FACE during a Leeds training session to leave his manager with a cut on his nose and 'wonky' glasses as the forward says he was left 's****ing himself'

Leeds forward Patrick Bamford has revealed he once risked the fury of his boss Marcelo Bielsa after accidentally smacking a ball into his face during training.

Bamford has been one of Bielsa's most important players this season - firing the team to Premier League safety with 14 goals - but the 27-year-old feared he could have got himself into hot water after the mishap following a corner routine.

Speaking on That Peter Crouch Podcast, Bamford told the former Tottenham and Stoke striker of how demanding the Argentine coach can be in training sessions, and recounted how he left him with a 'big cut' on his nose.
