NZPA-Reuter London The European soccer champions, Nottingham Forest, lost their 100 per cent record of success in the English first division when they were held to a goalless draw at home by Leeds nited on Saturday. Forest, which had scored 11 goals in its two previous matches, found the Leeds defence in much less charitable mood than earlier in the week when it conceded seven to Arsenal in a league cup tie. With nine points from its opening five games forest stays on top of the table — a point clear of Manchester United, which scored an impressive 3-0 away win over Aston VillaENGLISH LEAGUE Division one. —Aston Villa 0.
