'Summed them up' - Leeds United favourite slams Bielsa's men after Nottingham Forest defeat

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink claimed Leeds United made mistakes he has never seen them make during his old team's 2-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Goals from Sammy Ameobi and Tyler Walker earned Forest a huge win at the City Ground, moving them just one point behind their opponents.

Leeds have seen their lead over the chasing pack dwindle in recent weeks and now occupy a spot in the automatic promotion berths by virtue of goal difference alone.

And Hasselbaink, who was covering the game for Sky Sports, felt Forest forced Marcelo Bielsa's side into costly mistakes.

"Forest was the better team. They deserved everything they got," he said.

"They made Leeds make a lot of mistakes, mistakes I've never seen Leeds making. You have to give Forest the credit for that."

The clinching second goal, which came deep into added time, was manufactured after Joe Lolley nicked the ball off Jack Harrison, before squaring it to Walker. An error which the former Leeds striker was symptomatic of their struggles.

"They weren't brilliant, but they were effective, especially when they were going forwards.

"They picked the holes in Leeds. Their (Leeds) decision making was really poor and the second goal summed them up."
