Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford has hailed Chelsea as the best team himself and his Leeds United teammates have faced.

Leeds United have already faced Liverpool, Manchester City, Leicester City and Arsenal but Bamford insists the Blues are the best team he has faced.

Speaking on The Athletic’s Ornstein & Chapman Podcast, he said: “We nit-pick everything really.

“Our physical stats weren’t bad but Chelsea really outperformed what they’ve done the rest of the season, in terms of physically.

“Then obviously we know about Chelsea how good they are. ‘I think that’s probably the best team we’ve played this year.”
