Nottingham Forest came from behind to beat relegation rivals Leeds United and earn their first Premier League win under manager Sean Dyche.
United struck first when Brenden Aaronson picked out Lukas Nmecha, who drove his shot into the bottom corner.
But Ibrahim Sangare levelled for Forest after goalkeeper Lucas Perri parried Dan Ndoye’s ball into his path.
Captain Morgan Gibbs-White headed them into the lead following a cross from substitute Omari Hutchinson.
And Elliot Anderson made the win safe with a late penalty.
Forest were deserved winners in a fairly poor game, and will hope this can prove a catalyst.
The longer the winless run in the league went on for Dyche, who replaced 39-day manager Ange Postecoglou, the worse things could have got.
They were only behind for two minutes and 17 seconds in between Nmecha’s opener and Sangare’s strike.
It is telling that Gibbs-White, who failed to get a move to Tottenham in the summer, has now scored three times under Dyche – after netting none under the Australian.
He left to a standing ovation, having been criticised earlier in the season by the club’s fans.
This was not a vintage Forest performance, certainly compared with last season, but they were better than they have been and created the more promising chances.
