Bamford went down after a clash with El Ghazi

It read: Whilst Patrick Bamford did not deny the charge of successful deception of a match official following our Sky Bet Championship game against Aston Villa on Sunday, the club did request a hearing to contest the penalty imposed on the player.The club felt that given the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the extraordinary act of sportsmanship which saw our head coach Marcelo Bielsa demand our team to allow Aston Villa to score an uncontested equaliser, we could have a sensible discussion around the sanction.We acknowledge that the FA panel did not feel that to be reasonable and the club therefore joins Patrick in accepting the two-match ban. Leeds scored the opener at Elland Road while Villas Jonathan Kodjia was down injured. It sparked a melee with clashes between both sets of players and club staff.It ended with manager Marcelo Bielsa instructing his side to allow the visitors to score an unopposed equaliser with the match ending 1-1.
