April 04, (THEWILL) – Leeds United pulled off a crucial win in their battle to avoid relegation from the English Premier League by coming from behind to defeat fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest 2-1.
Despite conceding the opening goal to Orel Mangala, the home side dominated proceedings and scored twice in the first half through Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra.
The victory was deserved for Leeds, who had piled on the pressure throughout the match. The team’s attacking players, particularly Harrison and Sinisterra, caused constant problems for Forest’s defence, and Marc Roca put in a superb performance in midfield.
For Forest, the defeat was a severe blow to their hopes of survival. The team has now gone eight games without a win and is only outside the relegation zone on goal difference. With manager Steve Cooper under increasing pressure, Taiwo Awoniyi’s team faces a crucial run of fixtures in the coming weeks as they attempt to avoid the drop.
The result lifted Leeds from the relegation zone and left Forest rooted at the bottom of the table. They will hope for better when they face Aston Villa away on Saturday. The next day, Leeds welcome Crystal Palace to Elland Road.
