After the match, when Bamford was asked about scoring the stunner, he said that it did not matter who he scored but was pleased to.

“Only counts as one. They all count the same I guess. I’m just make the movement and behind the defernder and made a few runs during the game. As soon as I put it down on my chest, I just had one thing my mind really. And I didn’t realise until I actually hit the ball that the defender had slipped. I could have taken it on but I’d already made up my mind I was going to shoot,” he recalled.

Gary Lineker reacting to the strike, said: “There was a wonder goal scored earlier today and it came from Patrick Bamford, Have a little look at this one, guys.

“What a beauty, hey? That was to make it 2-0.”

Danny Murphy responded: “Oh, they’re the ones you want on your showreel. They are the ones you want.”

Martin Keown added: “Off the chest is a lovely feeling. I did that in my school days. Scored a volley for Brighton back in the day.”
