Leeds fans fume at Patrick Bamford's 'absolute howler of a miss' from five yards out before Liverpool loanee Fabio Carvalho equalises for Hull

Fans were left baffled after Leeds striker Patrick Bamford missed a glorious chance from five yards out against Hull.

Leeds, who are chasing automatic promotion from the Championship, had taken the lead in the ninth minute through Sam Byram.

Bamford was presented with an excellent opportunity to make it 2-0 when he was found by Dan James.

However, Bamford somehow managed to shoot over.

He was left to regret his miss as Hull, who are pushing for promotion themselves via the play-offs managed to equalise through Fabio Carvalho. 

Prior to Monday night's game, Bamford had scored eight goals for Leeds this season  in all competitions. 

Many fans were left frustrated at Bamford's inability to score from close range.

One fan wrote on X: 'Awful first 35. Bamford missing from 5 yards to go 2-0 up though'.

Another lamented: 'And now…if only Bamford had put it in the net.'

One fan added that it was 'genuinely impressive' for Bamford to miss. 

They wrote: 'Patrick Bamford. That is genuinely impressive to miss that. Fair play son'. 

In addition, another fan described Bamford's miss as 'horrible'.

They wrote: 'That's horrible from Bamford. Truly horrible'.

Another added: 'I like Bamford as a player but he has an absolute howler of a miss in him'.

Furthermore, another user wrote: 'Bamford is a disgrace for that miss oh my'.

One Leeds fan claimed that Bamford's miss could prove costly at the end of the season.

They wrote: 'There it is, the key Bamford error that our season will inevitably be decided by'.
