Nottingham Forest 0-2 Leeds: Daniel Farke picks up his first victory since taking on the job at Elland Road… as goals from Patrick Bamford and Ian Poveda sink the Premier League side

Leeds United picked up their first pre-season win under new manager Daniel Farke, against Premier League side Nottingham Forest.

The German was appointed as the new boss at Elland Road at the beginning of the month, after being tasked with getting the club back into the top-flight.

After losses to Manchester United and Monaco, Leeds picked up their first win ahead of the new season, after goals from Patrick Bamford and Ian Poveda. 

Bamford opened the scoring after 65 minutes following a poor back pass from Nottingham Forest’s Joe Worrall. The Leeds striker had all the time in the world to sit keeper George Shelvey on the floor, before rolling past him and tapping home

Leeds sealed the win five minutes from time after some great team play led to Ian Poveda striking past Shelvey from outside the box.

Steve Cooper’s side meanwhile handed a debut to former Manchester United star Anthony Elanga.

Elanga sealed a £15m switch to Forest earlier this week on a five-year deal.  

The 21-year-old came on during the second-half and showed some bursts of electric pace, and the youngster could prove to be a good addition for Cooper’s side this season.
