Brennan Johnson's early opener handed Nottingham Forest a crucial 1-0 home win against Leeds on Sunday, as Steve Cooper's side carved out an eight-point lead above the relegation zone.
The victory marked a third win in five for the Premier League newcomers, who climbed to 13th in the table - level on points with Crystal Palace and just five off Liverpool.
Sportsmail's Aadam Patel takes a look at some of the things you might have missed at the City Ground...
Walking through sporting history
The approach up to the City Ground must be one of the finer walks to a football stadium. A walk steeped in sporting history and a bit of culture.
Exit out of the train station onto Queen’s Road, take a right at the Hooters onto London Road and on your left is Meadow Lane - home of the oldest football club in the world, Notts County.
Carry on walking across the actual Trent Bridge and you’ve got the City Ground and Trent Bridge - which will host an Ashes Test this summer - within a stones throw of each other.
‘On this ground, we build our fortress’ said the massive banner at the Trent End with a display of Nottingham castle. This is turning into a fortress now for Steve Cooper’s men - they haven’t lost here in the league since September.
Navas dazzles on debut
Spare a thought for Wayne Hennessey. When Dean Henderson got injured, the Welshman must have thought that this was his opportunity.
But as we’ve figured, no signing is one too many for Nottingham Forest. And in came Keylor Navas from Paris Saint-Germain as signing number 28 out of 29 since last summer. Forest may have two European Cups but Navas has three.
From Madrid to Nottingham via a dressing room with Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar and the 36-year-old showed his class, with four saves and a clean sheet.
‘That Costa Rican’s kept us in it’ said a Forest fan at half-time as he tried to remember his name. He’ll remember it now.
Becks texts helping Johnson
Brennan Johnson said in these pages on Saturday about how David Beckham messages him before games.
Well his volley on Sunday was one that even the former England captain would have been proud of.
That’s now five Premier League goal involvements in 2023 for the 21-year-old and no player has more.
Dyche on scouting duty
Sean Dyche was in attendance, just as he was a few weeks ago when Forest beat Leicester 2-0.
Back then he was without a job and rumours of links with Leicester were quashed by the fact that the new Everton boss lives in Nottingham and they just so happen to be his closest team.
His explanation earlier this season was that he liked watching how other coaches approached games. There was another motive this time around though.
Everton welcome Leeds in a fortnight before visiting the City Ground at the start of next month.
Bogey team for Leeds?
Leeds are now winless in 13 top-flight matches away to Nottingham Forest since a 2-0 victory in 1971 when Peter Lorimer and Allan Clarke were on target.
In fact, their only top-flight wins at Forest all came with Don Revie involved as a manager (five victories between 1966 and 1971) or as a player (in 1959).
Marsch's Americans
Jesse Marsch's side are fast becoming the Premier League’s American team. ‘Ain’t nobody like McKennie, plays with Adams, for the USA’ sang the Leeds fans to the tune of the 1980s hit.
The trio of Weston McKennie, Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson means that Leeds are the first team to have three US internationals play in the same Premier League season since Tony Pulis’s Stoke side of 2012/13 - Geoff Cameron, Maurice Edu and Brek Shea. Leeds United States of America?
