Michael Skubala cut a frustrated figure after seeing his Leeds United U21s side’s unbeaten run come to an end against Nottingham Forest on Friday night. The Whites approached the clash at Meadow Lane on the back of nine straight Premier League 2 Division 2 games without defeat and they were keen to restart their campaign by picking up where they left off.
Leeds had a couple of strong chances to take the lead against Forest, too, as Joe Snowden hit the post and Mateo Joseph worked goalkeeper George Shelvey. However, an 86 th minute header from Aaron Donnelly saw United succumb to their first league defeat of the campaign, losing 1-0.
They remain three points clear at the top of the table, but Skubala knows responding to their first loss will see his side’s character tested, particularly when they host West Bromwich Albion next time out.
