Leeds striker Patrick Bamford fed-up with VAR interventions

Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford has hit out at VAR after a goal was chalked off for a marginal offside against West Ham.

The Whites fell to a 2-0 defeat on Monday night but thought they'd taken the lead at 0-0 when Tyler Roberts scored from Helder Costa's cutback inside the opening 10 minutes.

However, VAR ruled Costa was offside after a small touch from Bamford.

“I touched it [the ball]. I had to or Cresswell was going to head it," Bamford told The Official Leeds Utd Podcast.

“But I thought when I touched it that Costa was miles offside so running back I thought it's one of them but I had to touch it.

“But then I got back in the dressing room and saw it, it was worse… I was annoyed about the one at Wolves with my knee, but it was ten times worse than that."
