Tony Dorigo stunned by Patrick Bamford goal for Leeds v Betis
Leeds United named a very strong side for their latest pre-season friendly against Real Betis today.
Marcelo Bielsa will have been delighted with the start his side made too, with Patrick Bamford heading home the opener.
Betis did equalise against the run of play, but the Whites continued to look dangerous and dominate throughout.
The game was shown live on LUTV from Loughborough, with Bryn Law and Tony Dorigo back to talk us through the action yet again.
Dorigo was left stunned by the opening goal, especially the build-up between Junior Firpo and Jack Harrison.
“Wow,” he said.
“What a goal that was. Excellent one-touch play, the movement, the passing was an absolute joy, Dallas plays a big part.
“I love the ball in, and it’s important Bamford gets to that near post.”
Wow, indeed.
This was just a small glimpse of what is to come next season.
Firpo and Harrison already look to know each others’ games inside and out, and were a real threat for the entire game against Betis.
The Spaniard looks perfect for this system, and spends more time attacking than defending, something Bielsa loves from his full-backs.
It is only early days, so the likelihood is that Firpo will continue to improve as he gets settled in, which gets us very excited.
Of course, this is perfect for Bamford too, as he looks to continue his form and prove that last season wasn’t just a one-off in the Premier League.
We have every trust that the talisman can smash double figures, and his confidence will be sky high after this early goal.
