Forest revival continues as fightback sinks Leeds
The Guardian
|November 10, 2025
The Sean Dyche era is fully up and running at Nottingham Forest after he secured his first Premier League win as head coach at the third time of asking.
Leeds were barely worthy opponents, which is concerning considering the two teams could face a long battle for survival.
Lukas Nmecha put Leeds ahead but they quickly withdrew their challenge as Ibrahim Sangaré, Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson secured for Forest a first Premier League victory in 10 matches, to move them one point off 17th.
"There's good signs here and there's real signs of people committing to the cause, and I always think that's important," Dyche said. "Of course every player earns money and all that, what about the commitment to the cause? What about the commitment to each other? Start with each other, the fans and the badge."
Two goals 135 seconds apart were the only two noteworthy incidents of a dreadful first half. Errors played a key part in both. Nmecha's opener was Leeds's first real involvement, coming 13 minutes in. The striker's finish was clinical after the visitors capitalised on inept defending from Nicolò Savona 25 yards from goal. It was Leeds's only shot of the first half.
