Ian Wright delivers verdict on Patrick Bamford’s display vs Andorra

Popular football pundit, Ian Wright, has expressed his sympathy for Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford who made his senior England debut against Andorra yesterday at Wembley.

Bamford, who signed a new long-term contract with the Whites last week, deservedly got his chance to play for England, but it wasn’t a memorable debut for him.

He spent his 28th birthday toiling upfront and got very little assistance from his teammates. England initially struggled to break down Andorra’s defence, but they ended up winning 4-0.

The former Chelsea striker made some good runs without being found on many occasions and missed a good scoring chance as well.
