TalkSPORT pundits Ally McCoist and Gabby Agbonlahor have both claimed that Leeds United want to stay in the Premier League more than Nottingham Forest after their clash at Elland Road last night.
Despite Forest going ahead early thanks to a goal from Orel Mangala, Jack Harrison's equaliser eight minutes later meant the Whites were well and truly back in the game.
Then Luis Sinisterra's fantastic solo effort just before halftime turned out to be the winning goal as new manager Javi Gracia claimed his third win as Leeds boss in just six games in charge.

The result saw relegation rivals Forest drop to 17th while Leeds climbed all the way to 13th from the bottom three which only goes to highlight the closeness of the relegation battle - something McCoist couldn't believe.
"It’s ridiculous," McCoist said on talkSPORT this morning. "Leeds, Leeds jumped up six places I think. Leeds are sitting 13th."
“It’s who wants it more," Agbonlahor replied. "Who wants to stay up? Leeds want to stay up, they’re fighting at home. Forest went 1-0 up, Leeds battered them because they want to stay up."
