And just like that the match report has landed via Aaron Bower in wet West Yorkshire. Leeds United end the night dancing in the rain, having struck a telling blow in the scrap for Premier League survival. It may not be an enjoyable weekend for Nottingham Forest fans after a limp display from their team tonight.

That concludes our live blog for this evening. Thanks, as ever, for reading and for your emails. Until next time!

“A massive three points,” is the verdict from James Justin, speaking to Sky Sports on the pitch afterwards. “I wouldn’t say we blew them away but we understood what we needed to do. It was nice to score three goals at home. There’s something special about night games here [at Elland Road].”

On Leeds’ next assignment away at Chelsea in midweek, he says: “We’re not afraid of anyone in this league. It’s another chance to pick up points.”
