Leeds United kept a clean sheet in the 1–0 win at Nottingham Forest during the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
Leeds scored once and prevented Nottingham Forest from finding an equaliser in the Saturday 22 August fixture. The victory gave Leeds three points on their return to the Premier League.
A clean sheet means a team concedes no goals in a match. Because Forest were the home side, the fixture can be misremembered as a Forest victory when it is listed quickly as “Nottingham Forest 0–1 Leeds United.” The scoreline confirms that Leeds were the winners.
Leeds’ result was one of several narrow opening-round victories. Ipswich Town also won by one goal, beating Sunderland 2–1, but that match was not a clean sheet because Ipswich conceded.
