Leeds United seized a vital three points in the Premier League survival race with a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest at a rain-soaked Elland Road, opening up a nine-point cushion to the relegation places.
Jayden Bogle, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin got the goals that powered Daniel Farke's team to only their fourth win in 16 league outings, while debutant Lorenzo Lucca's late header for Forest came too late to rescue anything from this relegation-battle six-pointer.
Victory lifts Leeds to 16th, level on points with Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace and nine clear of third-bottom West Ham United, giving substance to Farke's belief that four more wins would secure their top-flight status. Forest, who began the night level with their hosts and had been unbeaten in four, remain 17th and now have just a six-point buffer to West Ham as they anxiously await the Hammers' trip to second-bottom Burnley.
