Half-Time Report: Leeds United, Nottingham Forest proving inseparable

Leeds United and Nottingham Forest are cancelling each other out in their Championship meeting.

Leeds United and Nottingham Forest have headed into half time goalless following an evenly-matched 45 minutes of Championship football at Elland Road.

The Whites started brightly and created the first chance of the afternoon in the 11th minute as Charlie Taylor's strike was well saved by Karl Darlow in the visitors' goal.

Forest ventured into the Leeds area moments later as Chris Burke gave his marker the slip and let fly, Giuseppe Bellusci producing a vital block to snuff out his strike.

The visitors tested Leeds goalkeeper Marco Silvestri in the 22nd minute when Ben Osborn collected the ball on the edge of the area and tried his luck, but his effort was met by a comfortable save.

Osborn caused the hosts more problems six minutes later as he toe-poked Michail Antonio's cross goalwards, forcing Silvestri into action again.

The two teams looked equally matched in the first period and clear-cut chances started to dry up as half time approached, but Charlie Taylor tested Darlow again in the 33rd minute, his first-time strike needing only a comfortable save.

Leeds ended the half on the front foot and looked the more likely to force the issue, but the game remains goalless at the break.
