Leeds United U21s 6-2 Southampton U21s highlights: Bamford hat-trick seals confident win
GOOOALLLL 6-0 PERKINS
56’ So strong from Perkins on the edge of the box to hold off a Southampton challenge, then the composure to bend it low into the far corner from 18 yards. Maintains his 100% scoring record. Six in five now for August's PL2 Player of the Month.
GOOOALLLL 5-0 BAMFORD
53’ Summerville wins it in the middle, sprints forward and finds the run Bamford has made to his right. Textbook finish low to the ‘keeper’s right.
HT: Leeds United U21s 4-0 Southampton U21s
Leeds’ dominance and experience reflected in the scoreline. Firmly in ‘rout’ territory.
