"Leeds pulled nine points clear of the Premier League relegation zone with a comprehensive win over a Nottingham Forest side now looking over their shoulders. The match was a clash between the two teams occupying the final positions of safety, perched precariously above the trap door, but it was the hosts who seized the initiative with a rousing display on a wet night at Elland Road."
"The game burst into life after 26 minutes when Jayden Bogle slotted Leeds in front and they doubled their advantage four minutes later, Noah Okafor converting James Justin's centre. Forest, who had won their previous two away games in the Premier League, never really threatened a comeback and Dominic Calvert-Lewin's 10th league goal of the season at the start of the second half settled it."
"Leeds rode their luck and capitalised on some woeful Forest defending to open the scoring. Ilia Gruev had all the time in the world to clip a perfect ball over the top for Bogle to run on to and the right wing-back made no mistake with a low finish. Justin made it 2-0 not long after. Having seen his shot saved by debutant Stefan Ortega, he had the presence of mind to square the loose ball to Okafor and he swept it home."
Leeds recorded a decisive 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest at Elland Road, pulling nine points clear of the Premier League relegation zone. Jayden Bogle opened the scoring after 26 minutes and Noah Okafor converted James Justin's rebound four minutes later. Dominic Calvert-Lewin added a second-half goal to settle the game. Nottingham Forest struggled with defensive errors and rarely threatened a comeback, although loan striker Lorenzo Lucca scored a late consolation on his debut. Karl Darlow produced saves to preserve the lead while Forest now face renewed pressure in the relegation battle.
