Nottingham Forest head coach Sabri Lamouchi has told the club’s official website that Leeds United are the best team in the Championship.

Lamouchi made the comment about Leeds following his side’s Championship match at Elland Road, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

After a goalless first half, Pablo Hernandez put the home team in the lead on 59 minutes, and Lewis Grabban restored parity for the Reds on 77 minutes.

Lamouchi told Forest’s official website: “To take a point away from here against the best team in the league is a good result.

“However, I was more satisfied with our performance last weekend than I was today but the team deserve huge credit for their menality because they fought back into the game really well.”
