    FT: Nott'm Forest 2-0 Leeds

    Championship top sixImage source, BBC Sport

    And that wraps up seven hours of EFL action.

    Leeds could have ended today top of the Championship, instead they're still in second but now just one point clear of fourth-placed Nottingham Forest and level on points with Fulham.

    The Whites have won just one of their past six Championship games and have now lost back-to-back games.

    Next up for them? A trip to fifth-placed Brentford.

    That's as far as we go in here today but we'll be back with more Championship action tomorrow when league leaders West Brom visit Millwall.

    Join us from 13:15 GMT for that, with kick-off at 13:30 GMT.

    Thanks for your company today and have a great evening. Cheers!

    I was too tired to shoot [in build-up to second goal]. There's 15 games to go and only one point between us and the automatic places, but the Championship is a frantic league.

    You can hear what it means to the crowd and the players - it's a brilliant moment. I thought we controlled the game really well.

    Forest close the gap on second-placed Leeds to one point.

    The Reds took the lead through Sammy Ameobi's goal, with Leeds goalkeeper Kiko Casilla beaten at his near post.

    Leeds had a lot of the ball in the second half but, Liam Cooper's header from a corner aside, created very little and Tyler Walker wrapped it up with the last kick of the game.

    Game. Over.

    Leeds have one last chance to get it in the area but the Forest defence head it clear before Ben Watson smashes it up to halfway.

    Jack Harrison can't get it under control under pressure from Joe Lolley and the Forest winger picks his pocket before running in on goal and squaring for sub Tyler Walker to score.

    We're into four minutes of added time.

    Is there going to be a late, late twist?

    Forest make their last change and it's Lewis Grabban, who should have made it 2-0, making way for Tyler Walker.

    It's been 21 years since Nottingham Forest last played in the top flight of English football.

    As it stands the Reds will be closing the gap on their second-placed opponents to one point.

    Could this be Forest's year? The fella above definitely hopes it will be.

    Three minutes to go.

    Forest halt a Leeds attack and Ben Watson drives forward as the Reds temporarily look to have men over.

    However, he hits his attempted pass to Lewis Grabban behind the front man and it breaks down.

    Leeds go straight down the other end and Jean-Kevin Augustin sees an effort blocked.

    It's frenetic now.

    Helder Costa drifts a ball into the area that Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba claims well.

    The Forest keeper has had precious little to do aside from the save from Liam Cooper's header.

    Mateusz Klich then hits an effort across the home goal hoping for some sort of touch. It gets none. Goal kick.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 82 mins

    Nott'm Forest 1-0 Leeds

    Nottingham Forest midfielder Samba Sow is booked for a little tug on Mateusz Klich.

    Think that might be more for an accumulation of fouls.

    Leeds are starting to build up a head of steam as Forest start to cast an eye towards the clock.

    That Liam Cooper header was the visitors' first effort on target. They've got 12 minutes to find an equaliser.

    Leeds so close to levelling!

    The Whites win a corner and somehow Leeds defender Liam Cooper, not a small man, is left completely unmarked 10 yards out.

    His header is kept out by Brice Samba before the keeper reacts quickly to punch the ball off the line.

    I'm not sure if the Forest defenders lost the ball in the wind or just didn't see Cooper drift in.

    Nott'm Forest 1-0 Leeds

    Leeds defender Ben White, playing in midfield today, is in the book for a foul on Adama Diakhaby as he looked to race in on goal.

    Joe Lolley pulls the free-kick wide.

    Worth pointing out that the wind is really starting to pick up.

    Leeds make a double change with Ezgjan Alioski going off for Jamie Shackleton and Jean-Kevin Augustin taking the place of Patrick Bamford.

    Augustin is making his debut for the Whites after joining on loan from RB Leipzig.

    The Whites have now used all their subs.

    Couple of risky challenges from Leeds full-back Ezgjan Alioski.

    The Macedonia international is on a booking but that doesn't stop him from making two tackles in the area, on Joe Lolley and Matty Cash, in quick succession.

    He just about gets them right. Possibly more through luck than judgement.
