Leeds United booked their place in the third round of the Carabao Cup as wasteful Nottingham Forest showed why they need to strengthen their attack before the transfer deadline.<\/p>\n

Forest have agreed a club-record fee worth around \u00a350m to sign Chelsea striker Liam Delap<\/a> and boss Oliver Glasner will hope his arrival will kick-start his side’s season after slumping to a second straight defeat without scoring.<\/p>\n

Dan James set Leeds, 1-0 winners<\/a> at Forest on the opening weekend of the Premier League season, on their way to a second win in four days at the City Ground with a composed 50th-minute finish after Sean Longstaff’s pass.<\/p>\n

It was deserved reward for the Wales winger who was a real menace all game as he netted his first club goal since April 2025 in a Championship win at Middlesbrough.<\/p>\n

But Forest were poor in front of goal. Although Chris Wood was denied an equaliser against his former club by a fine James Trafford save, defenders Ola Aina and Nikola Milenkovic were guilty of wild finishes when the tie was still goalless.<\/p>\n

Wood, who scored 41 goals in 83 Championship appearances for Leeds between 2015-17, also found himself clean through on goal in the 30th minute before a fine sliding challenge by Joe Rodon, who celebrated the tackle as though his side had scored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United booked their place in the third round of the Carabao Cup as wasteful Nottingham Forest showed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":749721,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-749720","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/749720","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=749720"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/749720\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/749721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=749720"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=749720"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=749720"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
