Overview
- Lukas Nmecha put Leeds ahead on 13 minutes, but Ibrahim Sangare equalised within three minutes before Morgan Gibbs-White’s 68th-minute header and Elliot Anderson’s stoppage-time penalty completed the turnaround.
- Sean Dyche’s triple change on the hour—introducing Omari Hutchinson, Taiwo Awoniyi and Ryan Yates—tilted the match, with Hutchinson assisting the second goal and winning the late spot-kick.
- The result delivered Dyche’s first Premier League victory with Forest and snapped a nine-match league winless run, leaving Forest a point from safety according to post-match assessments.
- Gibbs-White has three goals in five matches under Dyche, and the manager publicly backed his case for an England return after the captain’s influential display.
- Leeds have lost four of their last five league games and remain narrowly above the drop zone, with Daniel Farke acknowledging costly lapses in key moments.
