Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United LIVE: Premier League latest ... (The Independent)

Home manager Steve Cooper makes four changes from his team's last Premier League match, a 1-1 draw at Bournemouth, as new signing Navas starts between the ...

The Leeds man brings it down before lashing at goal, but Navas dives to his right to punch the ball away from danger and preserve his team's lead. Forest take a 1-0 lead into the break, but Leeds will be wondering how they are not at least level in this match. Recent results have improved, and Forest sit 14th in the table, but there remains only three points between themselves and the bottom three.

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Leeds: Premier League – as it happened (The Guardian)

Brennan Johnson's sweet first-half strike nabbed three points for Forest in a relegation six-pointer that Leeds largely dominated.

Williams tries to clear but only heads it into the path of Gnonto, who has space to advance on goal after the two Forest defenders went for the same ball. Leeds have a free kick that is lofted into the danger area from the Forest right. Surridge is on the move down the hosts’ left wing, and the Leeds goalie Meslier comes rushing out of goal to clear, but the Forest man was offside anyway. That looked completely “village” from Bamford but to be fair the ball took a little nick off a Forest leg on its way to him, so it was a difficult one to control. 51 min: Boly goes in the book for another cynical foul, a trip on Adams of Leeds. 53 min: Williams sprints into space down the middle and almost through on goal for Forest. The ball drops to Summerville on the edge of the box. 65 min: Now Gnonto loses the ball and Struijk soon fouls Johnson, who is haring through into space on the Forest right around halfway. But can Leeds snatch the goal, and the point, they they so clearly deserve? 77 min: Surridge threatens again on the left as Forest look to hit on the break. 84 min: Forest continue to keep their shape and keep Leeds at bay. And we got the three points in the end.

A final chance in a half that hadn’t seen many, fell to Leeds. With around 25 minutes remaining there was no change on the scoreline, but further changes came from the bench. Along with the new-signing, we saw a return from injury for Crysencio Summerville as he replaced Sinisterra. From an in swinging free-kick, the ball fell to Johnson on the edge and he struck a powerful first time volley into the bottom corner. Again, looking for an equaliser in the match, it was Gnonto causing problems as he created another good opening. The winger burst into the box and carved out an opening, only to see his left-footed strike denied by debutant Keylor Navas in the Forest goal.

Latest Nottingham Forest news from NottinghamshireLive as Graeme Souness talks about the result against Leeds United.

A lot of strikers get into that position and smash but you see the technique - he keeps his eye on the ball. The way he keeps his head down and over the ball.

The win has left Leeds supporters furious, demanding their manager Jesse Marsch be relieved of his duties as they hover above the
