Farke Turnaround Has Leeds Aiming to Thrive in Premier League
· Sports · BBC Sport
Anton Stach scored a late free-kick to secure a 1-0 victory for Leeds United against Nottingham Forest in their Premier League opener at the City Ground. This win marks a stark contrast to their visit to Nottingham in November 2025, when Daniel Farke's side suffered a 3-1 defeat. Leeds have now won five of their past eight league games, collecting 17 points since April. Manager Daniel Farke praised his team's clean sheet and overall performance away from home. Captain Ethan Ampadu stated that the club's primary goal is to remain in the Premier League and finish in a better position than last season's 14th-place finish.
