"The job is not done yet, far from it. But on a rainswept evening in West Yorkshire, the collective response from everyone associated with Leeds United for each of their goals left you in no doubt that this had the whiff of a season-defining night. With Leeds and Nottingham Forest sitting an advantageous but not decisive six points above the relegation zone before kick-off,"
"But a four-minute period which encapsulated Forest's season to date was decisive, as they spectacularly fell apart and conceded twice midway through the first half before Dominic Calvert-Lewin settled this quintessential relegation six-pointer shortly after half-time. The consequences of this result will fully be known only by the time the weekend is out. If West Ham do slip up, this could well be the night that goes a long way towards securing Premier League survival for Leeds."
A rainswept evening at Elland Road produced a potentially season-defining win for Leeds, with emphatic crowd reactions underlining the result's significance. Leeds and Nottingham Forest occupied an advantageous but precarious six-point cushion above the relegation zone before kick-off. Forest collapsed during a decisive four-minute spell, conceding twice before Dominic Calvert-Lewin sealed the match shortly after half-time. The outcome's full impact depends on West Ham's upcoming result, but Leeds' strong home form — 22 of their 29 points at Elland Road — and Daniel Farke's mid-season turnaround have markedly improved their survival prospects.
