Leeds 3-1 Forest live, Calvert-Lewin and Okafor strike before debutant Lucca replies | OneFootball

Leeds lead Nottingham Forest 3-1 at Elland Road after goals from Bogle, Okafor and Calvert-Lewin, with debutant Lucca replying late on.

Forest threatened early, Dominguez was denied twice on 11 minutes, before Calvert-Lewin headed against the bar from six yards on 23.

The hosts struck on 26 when Bogle put them ahead, Okafor doubled the advantage on 30, then Calvert-Lewin made it 3-0 four minutes after the restart.

With Leeds cruising on 85, Hutchinson cut inside from the right and crossed for the six foot seven Italian striker Lucca to nod in on 86, a lifeline that still looked unlikely to change the outcome.

On 88, Bogle’s sliding challenge on Ndoye was inch perfect, any mistiming would likely have resulted in a Forest penalty.

Nine minutes were added after lengthy treatment for Gruev earlier in the half, and by 90+2 there was a hint of anxiety around the ground despite the two-goal cushion.
