This is the Sky Sports Premier League podcast. Thanks for joining us. The weekend kicked off with Friday night football action between Leeds and Nottingham Forest at Elland Road. Here is how the game finished. Elland Road back in business with a big three points in what felt like a six-pointer. They overcome Nottingham Forest in some style it must be said Dominic Calvert-Lewin with a third of their goals on a night which saw Jadon Vogel and Okafor find the net as well Luka scoring his first goal for Nottingham Forest from the bench to give them some hope but not enough on a really under par night for Sean Dyche's men, as they still have work to do to keep away from Wichita United. But for Leeds United, it's a big step on their big goal of securing safety this season.
Ellen Rhodes playing his pass again, their home form is so important. And nearly for Daniel Parker, the United It's the new signing for Nottingham Forest.
What happened in the Leeds vs Nottingham Forest match?
And as that famous song rings around this famous stadium, they've held their side tonight, sealed three points. That is so important in this race to stay in the Premier League, but Nottingham Forest, they'll have to look ahead. They know there's still a long road ahead. Two Newcastle boys. Newcastle boys in a few words. Not many good words to say about Nottingham Forest tonight, but a lot of good words to say for Leeds United tonight. Final score, Leeds United 3, Nottingham Forest 1. Well, Stuart Dallas has been part of plenty of nights like this. Put this into context, Stuart. It feels like a huge night for Leeds. Yeah, a huge win.
Great performance, first and foremost. He's enjoyed it. Yeah, it's huge for the club. Of course it is. We talked about how big the game was before it and what it would mean to both sides if they could get a win. Thankfully, Leeds have come out on top and they were excellent throughout the game. It's a huge, huge win. Psychologically, a big boost for them as well ahead of it. A weekend full of fixtures. And yet again, it's the floodlights doing the trick. There's something in the air up in Yorkshire, for sure. But, yeah, difficult conditions tonight, I think. You see the pitch, the wind, the rain. It was really difficult for the players. They put a lot of effort into that. So Daniel will be really pleased. I know he'll be disappointed with the goal that they concede at the end.
But, yeah, you can see by his celebrations here how much he's enjoying it. And it's a huge, huge win for the football club.
This guy really gets them going, doesn't he, Michael? Rightly so, I mean it was a huge, huge football match and tonight Leeds United got what they deserved from start to finish. Well played from them. Dominic Calvert-Lewin getting his 10th Premier League goal. Positive response from that disappointing former to Arsenal. And that was such an important moment in the game, wasn't it? That Dominic Calvert-Lewin struck so early in that second half when you were expecting a Forest response. I was. I was expecting a change of formation as well, if truth be known, from Northern Forest. But I'm sure Daniel Farker was as well. And he says, right, we go out and win that second half. We start bright. And that's what they did.
And when they got the third goal from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, it was very, very comfortable. Until the final minutes where you thought, could Forrest get back into it? But no, Leeds certainly deserve the win. It feels to it like there's this real belief growing for Leeds, from the manager all the way through to the fans, that they're going to be absolutely fine. What do you think? It's easier to say it now after the game, for sure.
I think before the game people weren't too sure. But it's a huge win. They've been on a great run, sort of from the Man City game back away before Christmas. They obviously had the change of shape, the change of formation. And they've put a really good run together. We talked about it before the game, saying we don't know how they're only six points clear because the they had only two defeats or whatever it was but yeah this is huge for them big belief from this and hopefully they can take it to Stamford Bridge during the week.
