Nottingham Forest 0-1 Leeds result, stats and report

Leeds produced a composed and well-structured performance at the City Ground to beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 in the Carabao Cup, with second-half goals completing a convincing away victory that the statistics broadly support.

Nottingham Forest dominated possession, hit the woodwork twice, and generated more dangerous attacks, yet Leeds won 1-0 through a single right-foot shot in the 88th minute. Sophie Hargreaves explains what the numbers are hiding.

Chelsea and Leeds meet at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night in the Carabao Cup, both sides carrying clean sheet wins into this fixture. One of them walks away with nothing.

Nottingham Forest have kept back-to-back home clean sheets to open their season, and Coventry arrive at the City Ground having already conceded three on their Premier League debut. The numbers tell one story. The tactical detail tells another.

Leeds carry genuine home advantage into Saturday's clash with Crystal Palace, but their away form tells a different story entirely. The structural questions around both sides make this one worth watching carefully.

Leeds host a Newcastle side that has won just once in their last five away fixtures, and the structural problems travelling teams bring to Elland Road make this a genuinely interesting tactical contest. Sophie Hargreaves has the coaching breakdown.

Nottingham Forest have bid a reported £40m for Everton's teenage midfielder Harrison Armstrong, and David Moyes says the sale would be 'a club decision' rather than his own. With Forest also agreeing a £22m deal for Crystal Palace's Daniel Muñoz, the episode has become a test of Everton's ownership credibility.
