Patrick Bamford set for Crystal Palace exit after bad miss

Crystal Palace 0 Swansea City 0: Patrick Bamford is understood to have opted to end his loan stint at Crystal Palace and return to Chelsea, after missing a gilt-edged chance to settle this stalemate.

The 22-year-old striker told reporters he has asked to return to Stamford Bridge, ahead of seeking another loan move in January.

Bamford blasted a point-blank effort straight at grateful Swansea goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski when he should have buried the winning goal at Selhurst Park.
