"Nottingham Forest came from behind to beat Leeds United 3-1 at the City Ground to give Sean Dyche his first win as manager and the hosts their first Premier League victory since the opening day of the season. Ibrahim Sangare scored his first goal in a Forest shirt before Morgan Gibbs-White and an Elliot Anderson penalty gave the hosts all three points after Lukas Nmecha had broken the deadlock for Leeds."
"Forest were searching for their first top-flight win since their opening day victory over Brentford. They were made to wait, but more than two months and three managers later they finally achieved it to move to within a point of escaping the drop zone. It was a result that Forest thoroughly deserved after dominating for large periods. Leeds, meanwhile, offered very little after going in front and remain in 16th, just one point outside the bottom three."
"Forest began brightly, Gibbs-White forcing Lucas Perri to parry from an edge-of-the-box strike as early as the second minute. Ten minutes later, the Leeds stopper produced two wonderful saves in quick succession to first prevent a deflected shot from the Forest skipper and then react quickly to beat away the rebound. But just as the visitors appeared to be under pressure, Nmecha gave them the lead against the run of play, finishing well from just inside the area."
Nottingham Forest overturned an early deficit to defeat Leeds United 3-1 at the City Ground. Lukas Nmecha opened the scoring for Leeds before Ibrahim Sangare equalised for Forest. Morgan Gibbs-White put Forest ahead and Elliot Anderson converted a penalty to secure the victory. The result delivered Sean Dyche his first win as manager and Forest's first Premier League triumph since the opening day, moving them within a point of safety. Forest dominated large periods after the break and created sustained pressure, while Leeds offered little attacking threat after their early lead.
