A result that puts Leeds safe, Forest in trouble – and Dyche in doubt?

One down, three to go for Leeds.

Before their crucial win against Nottingham Forest, boss Daniel Farke said he expected four more victories would seal his side’s Premier League survival.

Friday’s dominant 3-1 triumph, thanks to goals from Jayden Bogle, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, moved them nine points clear of the relegation zone and chalked one off.

They now sit on 29 points – already enough to survive in both of the past two seasons.

“It was a game with a bit more on the line,” said Farke afterwards. “It feels sometimes a bit more important than other games.

“To deliver in this way with such a spirited performance, it’s sometimes more perfect than an easy 4-0 or 5-0. It was a massive performance.”

Their advantage over the bottom three may be cut back to six points if West Ham win at Burnley in another huge game on Saturday, but little would dampen the mood at a sodden Elland Road.

So what does this result really mean for Leeds, Forest and the wider relegation picture?
