Leeds, looking to bounce back from consecutive away defeats, struck first through Lukas Nmecha's well-taken strike.

It was the attacker's first goal since an opening day penalty in the Whites' 1-0 victory over Everton, and his first from open play for Daniel Farke's side.

However, in the end-to-end opening 15 minutes, another unlikely scorer popped up with a goal.

Nottingham Forest's Ibrahim Sangaré slammed in his first-ever goal for the Tricky Trees following a turbulent spell marred by injuries since joining in 2023.
