Nottingham Forest fans have turned to social media to react immediately to their victory over Leeds United.
Leeds United Fans React to Nottingham Forest Defeat
‘Performance of the Season’
Sabri Lamouchi’s side beat the Whites at the City Ground in front of the Sky Sports cameras earlier today (Saturday 8 February).
Sammy Ameobi gave the hosts the lead in the first half before Tyler Walker netted in second-half stoppage-time.
Forest have suffered just one defeat in their past ten League outings, making them the second most in-form Championship side.
Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds side looked dangerous in the opening moments as Ezgjan Alioski came closest with a deflected shot travelling wide of Brice Samba’s net.
The visitors should have levelled with 15 minutes left when Liam Cooper was found unmarked in the penalty area.
He forced a save from Samba before the ‘keeper rose off the ground to claw the defender’s header off the line.
But the end result was wrapped up when Joe Lolley stole the ball inside Leeds’ half and squared it to Walker to slot past Kiko Casilla.
It sets up a crucial week for Forest.
The Reds host Charlton Athletic on Tuesday night before heading to West Brom on Saturday.
Here’s what Nottingham Forest fans had to say on Twitter after full-time.
