Keylor Navas stars on Premier League debut as Nottingham Forest beats Leeds United
The HinduKeylor Navas made a string of great saves on his debut for Nottingham Forest to help his new team beat Leeds United 1-0 on Sunday in the Premier League and climb further clear of the relegation zone. Brennan Johnson scored the 14th-minute winner for Forest but the host had Navas — a multiple Champions League winner who was signed from Paris Saint-Germain this week on the final day of the January transfer window — just as much to thank for sealing a third victory in its last four league games. Leeds created chances at will in the first half but found it harder to penetrate Forest after the break, when U.S. midfielder Weston McKennie came on for his debut and played alongside international teammate Tyler Adams. Forest moved into 13th place, six points above the relegation zone, as the promoted team continues to recover from a slow start to the season on its return to the top flight after 23 years away.
