Patrick Bamford scored an outrageous goal from long range to help Leeds United win 3-0 away at Peterborough in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday.

The former Chelsea striker chased after a long hoof forward by Ethan Ampadu before leaping high into the air to gracefully control the ball on his chest.

Bamford then spun 180 degrees and nailed a stunning volley into the net from 25 yards before the ball had hit the ground.

SIMPLY. BREATHTAKING.

The game's other two goals were scored by fellow former Chelsea player Ampadu.

Defender Ampadu had never previously scored in 28 appearances for Leeds following his £7 million transfer from Stamford Bridge in July.

Meanwhile, Bamford has now netted in consecutive Leeds matches for the first time since January 2023.

Leeds - who last won the FA Cup in 1972 - will be represented by ball no.12 in the draw for the fourth round, which will take place on Monday night before Wigan's game against Manchester United.
