Leeds United moved nine points clear of the Premier League’s relegation zone after a dominant win over drop rivals Nottingham Forest.
Jayden Bogle, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck as Daniel Farke‘s men pulled further clear of third-bottom West Ham and level on points with Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace.
Italian striker Lorenzo Lucca headed home a late consolation for 17th-placed Forest, but it failed to mask a wretched defeat.
It was just a fourth win in 16 league games for the hosts, but one which gives 16th-placed Leeds a platform for survival.
Before the game, Farke believed four more wins would ensure their top-flight status and his side showed his confidence was not misplaced with a commanding victory.
Sean Dyche’s men were well beaten at Elland Road and two goals in the space of four minutes from Bogle and Okafor – who ended a 16-match league scoring drought dating back to October – proved decisive.
Calvert-Lewin – who headed against the bar before Bogle‘s 26th-minute opener – added a third goal four minutes after the restart as Leeds made it four successive top-flight home league wins over Forest.
It came from a classy, improvised finish, chesting in an Ilia Gruev cross, while 6ft 7in forward Lucca replied with a Forest debut goal in the 86th minute as he rose well to meet an Omari Hutchinson cross.
This was an important win, against one of our relegation rivals and to open a good points gap as well.
As I’ve been saying all season, we need to win our home matches.
Marching On Together.
League position 16th after 25 games.

Week 308 – January 28th – Eye Test
Thankfully no issues with the car for this appointment.
First eye test free because of being over 60 but still had to pay for the extra tests.
Everything went well and no new lenses were required, so not an expensive start to the year.
