Leeds United sent furious 'more fight' message as Nottingham Forest increase relegation heat

Nottingham Forest bounced back from missing a penalty then going a goal-down to in-form Brighton to earn a gutsy three points at the City Ground.

A freak own goal from Pascal Groß gave Forest the lifeline they needed to mount a stirring second half comeback that produced goals for Danilo and a Morgan Gibbs-White spot-kick. The victory, their first in 12 games, saw Forest move out of the relegation zone and level on points with Leeds United.

Twenty-four hours earlier the Whites had squandered a goal lead to draw 1-1 with Leicester City. Forest's win also put the Foxes back in the bottom three.

It also left Leeds just a point above the drop zone - and their fans are not happy.

@Lee_Dog: That bamford miss was huge last night. More huge now forest are winning

@thestixxnew: The energy from the Forest players going for a third goal to kill the Brighton match shows how negative Javi Gracias Leeds were last night. It's like watching another league

@jacksol1990: If we need to rely on what forest are doing then we deserve to go down

@scott_ghamer: Is these results don't go our way, i would think they have to think about pulling the trigger. Difference between forest and us is huge. They are scrapping for their lives. We sit off and don't use the crowd at all. Sack him

@nackinu: No way forest going to lose this now why don't we show this fight???
