Leeds United fans were left in disbelief and outrage after Patrick Bamford was shockingly snubbed for the FA Cup Goal of the Season award. Despite scoring a stunning volley against Peterborough in the third round, Bamford’s goal was overlooked in favor of Manchester United winger Amad Diallo’s strike against Liverpool.
The decision sparked a furious reaction from Leeds supporters, who took to social media to label the award “corrupt” and “fixed”, insisting that Bamford was “robbed” of the accolade. The anger and disbelief were palpable, with many fans describing the decision as “utterly baffling”, “shocking”, and “a joke”.
Bamford’s goal was widely regarded as one of the best of the season, and his omission from the award has left a sour taste in the mouths of Leeds fans. The fact that the award is voted for by supporters makes the snub even more puzzling, leading many to question the integrity of the voting process.
Despite finishing the season with nine goals from 36 appearances, Bamford’s FA Cup goal was undoubtedly the highlight of his campaign, and many felt it was deserving of recognition. The controversy has added fuel to the fire, with Leeds fans feeling aggrieved and disenfranchised by the decision.
