Leeds United fell to another defeat on the road after losing 3-1 at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The Whites got off to a flying start through Lukas Nmecha, who arrowed into the Forest far corner on 13 minutes after Noah Okafor nicked the ball and Brenden Aaronson played the decisive pass. But Ibrahim Sangare equalised almost instantly for the home side after Lucas Perri parried a cross into the midfielder’s path.

After a scrappy start to the second-half Sean Dyche made changes and they paid off, with substitute Omari Hutchinson’s cross finding the completely unmarked head of Morgan Gibbs-White to make it 2-1 on 68 minutes.
YEP chief football writer Graham Smyth was at the City Ground to watch the action. Here are his Leeds United player ratings...
1. GK: Lucas Perri
6 - Made a sublime double save in the first half but parried the ball straight to Sangare for the opener. Let down by defence for the second. Given no chance with the penalty. | AFP via Getty Images
2. RB: Jayden Bogle
4 - Got very little going. Found himself in one or two good positions but did little with it. Couldn't stop the cross for the first. | AFP via Getty Images
3. CB: Joe Rodon
6 - Headed and tackled. Couldn't do a great deal in possession with Leeds playing without fluency or cohesion. | AFP via Getty Images
4. CB: Jaka Bijol
4 - Wayward with too many long balls forward. Had his eyes on Gibbs-White ahead of the second goal and then just let him go. | AFP via Getty Images
5. LB: Gabriel Gudmundsson
5 - Couldn't stop the cross for the second. At least gave Leeds some forward momentum a couple of times. His superb second half run needed support. | AFP via Getty Images
6. CM: Sean Longstaff
5 - Ran around, made a few tackles but wasn't great in possession and set-piece delivery wasn't quite there. | Getty Images
