Nottingham Forest vs Leeds United LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Johnson's fine finish was Forest's only shot on target in the opening 45 minutes, while Leeds have not been able to get past Navas with any of their five shots from inside the box. Bamford has not looked at the peak of his powers as he continues his return from injury, so how long will Marsch leave it before introducing record signing Rutter off the bench?

Forest take a 1-0 lead into the break, but Leeds will be wondering how they are not at least level in this match. After a bright start, the visitors found themselves behind after a brilliant strike from Johnson, who lashed home a stupendous volley from the edge of the box. After that though, it was down to debutant Navas between the Forest sticks to maintain his new team's lead, making superb stops to deny Ayling and then Gnonto, while Sinisterra missed a golden opportunity to level when he blazed over.

HALF-TIME: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1-0 LEEDS UNITED

Sinisterra fires the ball into Bamford in a threatening position, but the striker's first touch is too heavy and races through to the waiting hands of Navas.

There will be three minutes of additional time at the end of this first half.

Great stop again! A loose header from Williams in his own penalty area gifts the ball to Gnonto. The Leeds man brings it down before lashing at goal, but Navas dives to his right to punch the ball away from danger and preserve his team's lead.
