Leeds United have issued a statement condemning abuse suffered by striker Patrick Bamford, after the forward missed a crucial penalty during the Whites’ eventual 2-2 draw with Newcastle United.

Leeds have released a statement on social media behaviour after individuals took to Twitter directing abuse at striker Patrick Bamford in the wake of his penalty miss this weekend.

The 29-year-old’s spot-kick was saved by Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope at a time when Leeds could have gone two-nil up in their crunch match at Elland Road on Saturday.
