Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
Follow all the action from The City Ground

Follow live coverage as Nottingham Forest face Leeds United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United
GOOOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!!!! An instant response from the Reds!! Barely a minute after going behind, Forest send a high pass forward which is flicked on and then brought down by Savona, who links up with Ndoye on his inside. The Swiss winger's cross from the right is palmed out of the six-yard box by Perri, but Sangare reacts quickest to slot the loose ball home, and makes it 1-1 at the City Ground!

CHANCE!! Longstaff clatters into Ndoye off the ball as Forest set off on a break up the left wing, but the referee allows them the advantage. Anderson's cross from the left finds its way through to Savona, whose own delivery across the face of goal takes a wicked deflection which almost catches Perri out!

BLOCKED!! Ampadu hurls another long throw into Forest's box and the loose ball sits up kindly for James, who drills a half-volley through the crowd as it takes a series of deflections before being cleared!

Forest remain the favourites to end this game victorious according to our live probability tracker, with the hosts given an overwhelming 44.5% chance of victory despite being level on the scoreboard. Leeds are up against it both on-field and in terms of their 21.1% win prediction rating, but there's still all to play for as Anderson gets the second half underway!

Gibbs-White's clinical header remains the difference in this game with Forest on course for their second win of the season, as another defender, Morato, comes on to replace their talisman.

Hutchinson races forward on the break once more and easily gets rid of Harrison on his travels, before shooting from a tight angle and seeing his effort blocked by Struijk!

There's the full-time whistle, and after nine games, three months, and the firing and hiring of several managers, Nottingham Forest finally pick up their second league win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Leeds United! Firmly on top after drawing level with Leeds before the break, Forest picked up where they'd left off in the second half and generated 2.47 xG overall, with Igor Jesus going close early on. Gudmundsson and Aaronson produced half-chances at the other end but it would be Forest who struck next, with Gibbs-White arriving to head home Hutchinson's inviting cross and deservedly putting the visitors 2-1 up. Leeds managed 0.69 xG in response as James and Calvert-Lewin forced Sels into action, but Sean Dyche's side had an ideal outlet in the form of Hutchinson, who broke clear to win a penalty which was duly dispatched by Anderson. Forest win in the league for the first time since matchday one and close the gap in the bottom three to just one point, as another dismal away performance from Leeds sees them slip closer to the drop zone. The Whites still sit 16th with a one-point buffer, but it's 19th-placed Forest who are now the side back on an upward trajectory.
