A Back and Forth Affair
The match was a real rollercoaster, with both teams playing attacking football. Forest took the lead in the first half with a stunning goal from Brennan Johnson, who absolutely torched the Leicester defense.
But Leicester weren't done yet. They equalized in the second half through a well-taken finish from James Maddison. The momentum seemed to swing in the Foxes' favor, but Forest held their nerve and ultimately sealed the deal in the final minutes with a cool finish from Taiwo Awoniyi.
A Much-Needed Win for Forest

A Blow for Leicester
Meanwhile, Leicester are now deep in a relegation battle of their own. This loss was a real setback for Brendan Rodgers' side, who are struggling to find their form. They'll need to get back on track quickly if they want to avoid a drop to the Championship.
