"Sean Dyche claimed his first Premier League win at Nottingham Forest, who came from behind to beat fellow strugglers Leeds United 3-1. The Tricky Trees also ended their nine-game wait for a Premier League victory, a run which stretched back to the opening weekend of the season when they were led by Nuno Espirito Santo. Leeds broke the deadlock in the 13th minute through Lukas Nmecha's neat finish across goalkeeper Matz Sels, capitalising on Nicolo Savona's lapse in concentration."
"However, Ibrahim Sangare's first Forest goal put the hosts back on level terms just over two minutes later, with the midfielder finishing after Lucas Perri could only parry Dan Ndoye's cross. Morgan Gibbs-White completed the turnaround midway through the second half with a deft header from Omari Hutchinson's inviting centre. And Hutchinson was involved again as Forest sealed all three points in stoppage time, drawing a foul from Jack Harrison in the penalty area,"
"Despite taking an early lead, Leeds faced eight shots in the opening 20 minutes, their most at that stage of a league game since December 2021 against Manchester City (nine in a 7-0 defeat). They also lost a league game when scoring the opening goal for the first time under Daniel Farke (53 matches). Conversely, Forest won a Premier League match when conceding the opener for the first time in 17 games, since beating Aston Villa from behind last December."
Nottingham Forest recovered from an early goal to defeat Leeds United 3-1, delivering Sean Dyche his first Premier League win with Forest's first top-flight victory since the season opener. Lukas Nmecha opened the scoring in the 13th minute, before Ibrahim Sangare equalised within minutes and Morgan Gibbs-White put Forest ahead with a header. Omari Hutchinson won a stoppage-time penalty, and Elliot Anderson converted to seal the result. Forest remain 19th but moved closer to safety, within one point of 17th-place Burnley and two behind Leeds. Leeds faced eight shots in the opening 20 minutes, and Gibbs-White registered three shots on target.
