Jayden Bogle opened the scoring with a well-placed finish, followed by Noah Okafor's close-range strike. Dominic Calvert-Lewin added a third, netting his tenth league goal of the season, further solidifying Leeds' position.

Forest's debutant, Lorenzo Lucca, scored a late consolation goal, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome. This win significantly boosts Leeds' chances of avoiding relegation, pushing them nine points clear of the drop zone.
