Leeds United kicked off their Premier League season with a dramatic 1-0 win against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Anton Stach sealed the victory with a stunning late free-kick, contrasting sharply with their previous visit to Nottingham in November 2025.
Manager Daniel Farke expressed his satisfaction with the clean sheet and the team's performance, particularly highlighting the impact of new signings. The club invested around £80m in new players over the summer, with James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic, and Harry Wilson all starting and showing early promise.
Captain Ethan Ampadu reiterated the team's goal to remain a Premier League club next season, aiming for a better standing. Leeds finished 14th last season, eight points clear of the relegation zone, and are determined to build on their improved form from the latter half of the previous campaign.
