'Thank you Pablo!' - Leeds United win sends Nottingham Forest fans nuts

Nottingham Forest fans are a happy bunch after Leeds United's last-gasp win at Swansea City today.

Marcelo Bielsa's side have beaten the Swans 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium thanks to an 89th minute strike by Pablo Hernandez.

That result means Forest will take a giant step toward securing their play-off spot with Sabri Lamouchi's side hosting Swansea in midweek.

Forest are currently in fifth place with 69 points after yesterday's 1-1 draw with Preston North End.

If Swansea had held out for a draw against Leeds, the gap to seventh place would have been cut to five points.

With three matches remaining, Forest can get the job done on their terms with a win or two.

But a but of help from the Whites has given them a bit of breathing room.

Little wonder, then, that the Reds' fans are buzzing with Leeds' late show in Wales.

"Thanks you mighty Leeds!" one said.

A second added: "Thank you Pablo! Freedom of Nottingham granted."

"Thank you Leeds from Forest fans," said another.

"Helps us out for the game against Swansea on Wednesday," a fourth fan said.

"Happy to accept a little favour from Leeds today," added a fifth.

Another said: "Been very fortunate with results recently. Thank you Leeds."

Forest play Barnsley and Stoke after the Swansea match, which takes place on Wednesday at 6pm.
