Leeds United don book dia place for third round of Carabao Cup after dem beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 for City Ground. Na second time for four days dem don beat Forest, wey still dey find dia first win under new manager Oliver Glasner.
Dan James open scoring for 50th minute with fine finish after Sean Longstaff pass. Na im first club goal since April 2025, and na deserve reward because im be real menace for Forest defenders throughout di game.
Forest go regret plenty chances wey dem waste. Chris Wood, wey play for Leeds before, bin get chance wey James Trafford save. Ola Aina and Nikola Milenkovic also miss clear opportunities wen score still 0-0.
Wood bin think say im go score against di club wey im serve between 2015 and 2017, but Joe Rodon slide tackle quick to stop am, and im celebrate di tackle as if im don score.
Leeds double dia lead for 75th minute. Ethan Ampadu throw-in cause scramble for box, Lukas Nmecha try to bundle ball in, but Neco Williams block am, until James Justin pounce to make sure.
Leeds give debut to Switzerland defender Nico Elvedi, and im help di backline stay solid. Goalkeeper James Trafford also do im part, plus save from Nicolas Dominguez header.
Forest don agree club-record fee around £50 million to sign Chelsea striker Liam Delap. New boss Oliver Glasner go hope say im arrival go kick-start dia season, as dis na second straight defeat without scoring.
Forest next game na Liverpool for Saturday, while Leeds go host Brentford for Sunday on dia first home game of season.
