Patrick Bamford has revealed he was forced to put rugby studs in his boots at half-time of Leeds United’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.
The Elland Road pitch has commanded plenty of headlines in recent weeks, and it was relaid last month after the players were seen slipping throught the game with Brighton on January 16.
The stop-gap fix, at a reported cost of £300,000, drew praise from coach Marcelo Bielsa after the game with Everton, but Bamford had issues during the win over the Eagles on Monday and took drastic measures at the interval.
