Nottingham Forest are now one of the teams Leeds United are looking to overhaul in the battle to avoid relegation. Steve Cooper's side moved out of the relegation zone with a huge home victory over basement side Southampton on Monday night.
Taiwo Awoniyi's brace, along with a penalty for Morgan Gibbs-White and a second-half strike from Danilo sealed a 4-3 win for the hosts. The defeat effectively condemns the Saints to Championship football next term, with Leeds and Leicester City also currently sat in the bottom three.
Forest's win followed an emphatic away victory for Everton the day before, with Sean Dyche's side registering a 5-1 win at Brighton. The Toffees leapfrogged Leeds in the table, ahead of facing league leaders Manchester City on Sunday.
