Speaking ahead of the match, Leeds star Patrick Bamford talked up teammate Joe Gelthardt, and flatteringly compared him to England's record goalscorer Wayne Rooney.

He claimed: “He reminds me - I don't want to say the same level as Rooney - but he is the same kind of build as Rooney was. A stocky lad, great finisher.
