Leeds United U21 5-1 Nottingham Forest U21 highlights: Five-star display sees Whites go joint-top
Chance McGurk
65’ Just wide. Leeds press Forest into giving the ball away cheaply and McGurk sprints onto a loose ball from 18 yards.
Low flat drive is just past the post.
Good stuff
64’ Almost a third. Gyabi whips in a cross, which deflects off a Forest defender and catches the 'keeper off-guard. Nearly finds the back of the net before he recovers. All started with a great spin and pass by Gray.
GOOOOALLL! Gyabi 2-1
50’ Darko Gyabi smashes one in from just outside the area. Keeper gets a hand to it but can’t prevent it trickling into the corner of the net. Leeds in front.
HT: Leeds 1-1 Forest
Tough half but Leeds done enough to be level. Equaliser comes right at the end of the half through Charlie Allen who has been one of the standouts so far. Sutcliffe with some dangerous crosses/movements from the right.
GOOOOALLLL! 1-1 Allen
45’ Into the third minute of stoppage time at the end of the first half and Allen strikes. Comes from Sutcliffe’s cross into the area which the ‘keeper spilled to the edge of the box. Allen picks it up, spins and shoots low. Level.
Forest shot
37’ Hammond to Gibson-Hammond who crosses for Larsson. His effort is tame and well-held by Christy.
