Leeds earn big win at home to Forest

Daniel Farke 's Leeds United earned an important win at home to Nottingham Forest  to give the Whites a much needed three points.

The home side took the lead early into the game with Jayden Bogle easily putting the ball past Stefan Ortega .

That lead was doubled with a half hour gone in when Noah Okafor popped to be in the right place with just over a half hour gone in the game.

It was 3-0 early into the second half when once again Forest couldn't clear the lines with Dominic Calvert-Lewin able to chest the ball into the net early into the second half.

Despite being three goals down the visitors fought back with a cross from the right from Omari Hutchinson being headed in by Lorenzo Lucca .

But it was too little, too late for the Italian with Leeds United earning a much-needed three points at Elland Road.

That result sees Leeds move on to 29 points, level with Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace and three ahead of Sean Dyche's Forest.
