Leeds United supporters react with surprise to Patrick Bamford’s unexpected decision
Leeds United fans were left in disbelief and outrage after Patrick Bamford was shockingly denied the FA Cup Goal of the Season award. Despite Bamford scoring a stunning goal against Peterborough in the third round, his goal was overlooked in favour of Manchester United winger Amad Diallo’s goal against Liverpool.
The decision sparked a furious reaction from Leeds fans, who took to social media to call the award “corrupt” and “rigged”, insisting that Bamford had been “robbed” of the honour. The anger and disbelief was palpable, with many fans describing the decision as “completely incomprehensible”, “shocking” and a “scam”.
Bamford’s goal was considered one of the best of the season and the fact that he did not receive the award left a sour taste in the mouths of Leeds fans. The fact that the award is voted for by the fans makes the disqualification even more bizarre, leading many to question the fairness of the voting process.
Although Bamford finished the season with nine goals in 36 appearances, his FA Cup goal was arguably the highlight of his campaign and many felt he deserved the award. The controversy has added fuel to the fire as Leeds fans feel insulted and disenfranchised by the decision.
