Brennan Johnson scored the only goal as Nottingham Forest beat Leeds to move six points clear of the relegation places.
Forest were second best throughout the first half but led at the break thanks to Johnson’s thumping 14th-minute strike.
After Leeds failed to clear a free-kick on the right, the ball bounced up for the Wales forward to rifle it into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.
The hosts were indebted to debutant goalkeeper Keylor Navas, on loan from Paris St-Germain, who made important first-half saves from Wilfried Gnonto, Luke Ayling and Luis Sinisterra, who put Leeds’ best chance of the game over the bar from six yards out.
Leeds’ threat all but vanished in the second period and Forest comfortably held on for a third victory in five Premier League games, moving up to the 13th in the table.
Meanwhile, Jesse Marsch’s Leeds have now gone seven league games without a win and stay 17th, above the relegation zone only on goal difference.

Agree mate with loads of what you are saying my friend I actually feel sorry for Jessie marsch as performances have been good but we need results asap. Can’t wait too you come on my channel tonight again an absolute pleasure my friend so much to talk about mate a massive like from me and i hope your well
Time for him to go, I think 🤔
Very disappointing result. We controlled the match from the first to the very last minute. At least two clear-cut chances were missed and Navas pretty much won the game for them. Bamford had a horrible day, sadly. We pay not having an incisive goal scorer upfront. I don't get how so many fans can blame the manager for the loss. The squad played well overall and dominated all over the pitch the entire time. We just weren't able to score. I feel this loss was more on the shoulder of players that, unfortunately, aren't good enough. Bamford shouldn't be starting
Times 🆙
who comes in?
only bielsa
Past time .he should of been gone already.
He's got 2 games.
No one is coming in this week.
Gotta a feeling we will win on Wednesday.
They are knackered
This is what happens when you’re previous manager decided to sign “ball playing defenders” instead of ones that can actually defend.
Also Marsch needs to go.
Sanity says Jesse must go
Got to be Carlos Corberan
