Jack Harrison started the move downright pouncing on a rebound after Keylor Navas pushed the ball his part to equalize for Leeds United in the 20th minute.

In the added time of the first half, Luis Sinisterra took on the Forest players on the left side of the pitch before firing a low shot to the bottom corner.

After missing for 87 days through injury, Taiwo Awoniyi played his first game against Wolves over the weekend when he came off the bench in the 85th minute.

On Tuesday, he was introduced in the 56th minute to get more game time as he continues to build back his form before the injury.
