On the surface, an away win in the Championship with a clean sheet is impressive. However, against 10 men for more than 70 minutes, the Whites failed to win the game until Piroe’s 87th-minute goal. Daniel Farke had some decisions to make with his Leeds United squad on Saturday, when they went to Cardiff City and won 2-0.

The main flashpoint in Forest’s 2-2 draw came in the 83rd minute, when Gibbs-White went to confront Joao Pedro, and referee Rob Jones signalled that the midfielder had won the ball after his reckless sliding challenge.

According to Football Insider, Leeds United are “keen” to begin new contract talks with Dan James.

Leeds United fans were left with mixed feelings after Daniel Farke’s team defeated Cardiff City 2-0 on Saturday (September 21). Despite winning all three points at Cardiff City Stadium and playing against 10 men for the majority of 70 minutes after Joel Bagan was sent red, the Whites were not very impressive. Largie Ramazani opened the goal just seven minutes after Bagan’s red card, finishing a move in flair, before Joel Piroe assisted Pascal Struijk in putting his penalty miss behind him.
