Nottingham Forest crashed to a costly 2-1 defeat at Leeds United which will only have increased the pressure on Steve Cooper.
The Reds head coach went into the game with his position under scrutiny, on the back of a poor run of form which had left the club in a precarious position. But his team got off to the perfect start, going in front with 12 minutes on the clock.
Forest had already gone close through Emmanuel Dennis, who was denied by the woodwork after a Morgan Gibbs-White corner was flicked on. Brennan Johnson then had a shot gathered soon after.
