Brennan Johnson’s goal clinched an important victory for Nottingham Forest as they beat Leeds United 1-0 at the City Ground.
The Reds had Keylor Navas to thank for ensuring they went in at the break with their lead intact. The deadline day signing had a busy first 45 minutes in front of the Trent End.
Johnson opened the scoring in impressive style before the quarter-hour mark, lashing in a volley after a Morgan Gibbs-White free-kick had only been half-cleared. Gibbs-White had a shot blocked soon after, but the hosts spent much of the first half on the back foot.
