It took him time to win over the fans. But this season, he truly has etched himself as a cult-hero among the Elland Road faithful, mainly through his bundles of energy and an admirable work-rate.

Patrick Bamford went through a goal-drought phase from late August to early November, a span of 10 games, where he was often jeered by the Leeds fans. While fans were demanding Marcelo Bielsa to start with Eddie Nketiah, the Argentine kept faith in the 26-year-old as he felt Bamford brings a lot more to the table.

His decision stands vindicated. As Leeds come away with a 1-1 draw against West Brom at the Hawthorns in the top of the Championship clash on Wednesday, Bamford once again stole the show.

Coming on as a second-half substitute to replace the departing Nketiah, Bamford changed the complexion of the game. His header was deflected in by Albion defender Semi Ajayi as Leeds restored parity after the break.

Bamford was presented a golden opportunity to seal the tie in Whites’ favour right at the end, but his angled shot was kept out by Sam Johnstone.

Here are some of the best reactions from the Leeds fans on Twitter:

Anyone doubting how good Bamford is watch this second half again, absolutely outstanding lone striker
