clash with QPR.<\/p>\n<p>The England international suffered the agony of relegation last term with the Whites after Sam Allardyce was unable to rescue their season after coming in at the 11th hour.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, Leeds have hardly been pulling up trees in the Championship, and sit sixth with four wins, two draws and two defeats as they look to bounce straight back up under Daniel Farke.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They did pick up an important three points on Wednesday night after Crysencio Summerville struck in the ninth minute, but the game was not without its dramatic moments at the climax.<\/p>\n<p>With Bamford seeking to put a second on the board, he broke free and ran at Asmir Begovic, only for the Bosnian to lunge into a tackle and get himself sent off &#8211; but despite the striker dramatically hitting the deck, there was no contact.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/05\/08\/76194699-12596559-image-a-15_1696492460265.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Patrick Bamford was branded a &#8216;diving cheat&#8217;

their sixth from 10 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Summerville&#8217;s early goal proved enough against a QPR side who offered next to nothing as if already resigned to a brutal relegation fight.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/05\/08\/76183747-12596559-Crysencio_Summerville_s_above_early_goal_proved_enough_to_secure-a-2_1696491749643.jpg\" height=\"449\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Crysencio Summerville&#8217;s (above) early goal proved enough to secure Leeds all three points<\/p>\n<h3>MATCH FACTS\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>Leeds United (4-2-3-1): <\/span>Meslier;
