Leeds earned a superb 3-1 win over title-chasing Leicester thanks to Bamford's sensational goal which put them 2-1 up.

Marcelo Bielsa's side had been second best for long periods of the second half until Bamford struck in the 70th minute.

The striker's thunderous left-foot shot narrowed into the top corner, but it was the work by Raphinha that had Sky Sports pundit Carragher out of his seat.

The Brazilian's first-time pass split the Foxes defence and Bamford - who still had plenty to do - finished in style.

"Wow!" exclaimed Carragher.

"Raphinha has made this pass two or three times. There's no problem with offside, it's an incisive pass.

"No goalkeeper is saving that. Bamford gets the plaudits and rightly so, what a goal.

"But for me, the biggest part is the pass. He's played that pass twice or three times this half, Raphinha. It's the only thing Leeds have had going forward.

"It's really crisp, pace on the pass, taking players out of the game."

Bamford teed Jack Harrison for Leeds' third as they made it back-to-back away wins after beating Newcastle in midweek.

October signing Raphinha has been in fine form the last couple of weeks, scoring the opener and setting up Harrison for the winner in that game at St James’s Park too in a man of the match performance.
