Anton Stach scored Leeds United’s winning goal in the 88th minute against Nottingham Forest during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The German midfielder converted a free-kick late in the match at Nottingham Forest. His strike gave Leeds a 1–0 victory and secured their second successive opening-match win.
Stach’s goal also extended a notable personal scoring trend. It was his fifth goal from outside the penalty area since the start of the previous season, more than any other Premier League player during that period.
The match was a frustrating one for Forest, who had won only one of their previous 12 Premier League home matches by the time of this fixture. Leeds began their campaign with three points, while Forest started under new manager Oliver Glasner.
