Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford admits Chelsea are the best team they've faced this season.

The Whites even went a goal up very early on through former Blues striker Bamford at Stamford Bridge.

But the hosts battled back when Olivier Giroud, Kurt Zouma and Christian Pulisic got on the scoresheet to secure a 3-1 win.

It has led to Bamford explaining how Chelsea have been the best team they have faced this season.

"We nit-pick everything really. Our physical stats weren't bad but Chelsea really outperformed what they've done the rest of the season, in terms of physically," Bamford said on The Athletic's Ornstein & Chapman Podcast.

"Then obviously we know about Chelsea how good they are. I think that's probably the best team we've played this year."
