Brennan Johnson’s goal secured victory and extended Nottingham Forest unbeaten run in the Premier League to five matches
Despite their slow start, Forest showed what Leeds have missed for most of the season: an ability to take chances. Morgan Gibbs-White whipped in a free-kick from the right that deflected its way to a waiting Johnson who thrashed the looping ball into the bottom corner to instigate bedlam in the stands.
Forest were holding on to their lead, struggling to cope with Gnonto on the left, a winger fearless when dribbling at Neco Williams, who gifted a chance to the Italian through a poor header but Navas positioned himself to block a fiercely struck volley. Navas was integral to Forest maintaining the lead but there was concern when he required treatment after being caught on the head by the studs of team-mate Willy Boly, although he was fine to continue after treatment to a cut.
Steve Cooper made changes at half-time, bringing on Serge Aurier and Jack Colback for Orel Mangala and Danilo. The Brazilian struggled on his first Premier League start, getting an early booking and looking unable to cope with Leeds’ midfielders and forwards. It was a learning exercise for someone who showed some neat touches.
