Bamford broke the deadlock deep in first-half stoppage time and Willy Gnonto struck a killer second just before the hour-mark as Leeds extended their unbeaten league run this year to 12 matches.
Boss Farke said: “Everyone speaks about the goal (Bamford) scored at Peterborough in the FA Cup – a worldie – this goal tonight is for me also like a worldclass striker goal.
“To have this instinct. Will Junior [Firpo] be there with the cross? To have the movement away from the opponent at the far post and then you still have to have the concentration to get the ball down.
“It wasn’t that easy to score and this is a sign of a top-class striker. When it counts you have to be there and you have to be clinical, so we are all happy that we have Patrick and also have him in his best shape.”
