WATCH: Leeds United's Souleymane Doukara nets thunderous volley

Souleymane Doukara struck a wonderful volley in Leeds' clash with Nottingham Forest to double the lead

Leeds United striker Souleymane Doukara scored a thunderous volley on Wednesday evening to help his side to a 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest.

Doukara had been on the field for just two minutes after replacing Stuart Dallas as a substitute, with Leeds already 1-0 ahead after Chris Wood's opener.

The home side were awarded a corner which Forest managed to initially clear, but the rebounded ball fell into the path of Doukara with 74 minutes on the clock.

It was then that he fired home with the most powerful of shots, rifling the ball into the top corner past the leaping Stephen Henderson and leading to wild celebrations from players and fans alike.
