Leeds United secured an important win at home to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday evening, coming from behind to claim the three points.

Goals from Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra saw Javi Gracia’s side turn the game around, moving up to 13th in the Premier League table.

Speaking after the match, the head coach gave his thoughts on the game.

He said: “I’m very pleased because the performance was really good and after, we got a good result, but first, the performance was good.

“I think we should have killed the game before. We didn't do it and after we had to suffer at the end of the game, but the performance was good.

“The attitudes after conceding a goal, at home, the reaction of the team was perfect and is something I'm really proud of.

“They [Forest] scored a goal, they had some chances, but not so clear as they usually do it, it’s a very dangerous team in counter. They are very good with the players they play up front.

“I'm really happy with my players when they attacked, creating the chances, but with the concentration with the defending is something I'm really proud of.

“I'm very, very proud with the attitude of the team in defending. For sure we've conceded some chances but it was not easy to defend this.

“I have seen many games and I know how difficult is to be well organised during all the game and concentrated all the game.

“We did it, in a crucial game, in the best moment for us. We give an important step, we make an important step and now thinking about the next.”
