Nottingham Forest overturned an early one-goal deficit to claim three crucial Premier League points against Leeds United, sealing a 3-1 victory at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon.
According to Nottingham Forest FC reporting, the Reds staged an impressive turnaround to claim a crucial 3-1 Premier League victory over Leeds United at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon.
The win breaks a league drought for Sean Dyche’s side, marking their first league triumph since August, and extends their current unbeaten run across all competitions to three games.
Forest were tested early when the away side opened the scoring through Lukas Nmecha’s strike, which beat goalkeeper Matz Sels. However, the lead was short-lived.
Barely two minutes later, Forest drew level when a cross was palmed into the path of Ibrahim Sangaré, who found the net with precision to score his first goal for the club.
The decisive moment came on the hour mark when a substitution paid immediate dividends. Omari Hutchinson, who replaced Nicolás Domínguez, sent in a delightful cross that Morgan Gibbs-White flicked beyond the Leeds goalkeeper to turn the scoreline around.
Leeds pushed for an equalizer, but Sels produced a fine stop to deny Daniel James from distance. The victory was rounded off in the final moments of the game when Hutchinson was brought down in the box, allowing Elliot Anderson to step up and send the goalkeeper the wrong way from the penalty spot.
The final whistle confirmed the 3-1 scoreline, allowing Forest to head into the international break with renewed momentum before their next action at Anfield against Liverpool.
