Nottingham Forest 0-1 Coventry: Sky Blues pick up first Premier League win in 25 years
Jay Dasilva scored shortly after half-time as Coventry ended a 25-year wait for a top-flight win and moved off the bottom of the table.
- Coventry City secured a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, marking their first Premier League win in 25 years.
- Jay DaSilva broke the deadlock 10 minutes into the second half, racing onto Carl Rushworth's long kick to lift the ball over goalkeeper Matz Sels and end Coventry's goal drought.
- Referee Jared Gillett disallowed an 86th-minute equalizer after a VAR review, judging that Igor Jesus had clipped the ankle of Coventry defender Caleb Yirenkyi in what became the second controversial VAR decision of the match.
- This famous victory lifts Frank Lampard's side off the foot of the table to 18th position, while Nottingham Forest remains on five points after their second league defeat of the campaign.
- Home form remains a concern at the City Ground, where Forest has won just once in the league since December last year, undermining their promising away performances that yielded four points from trips to Liverpool and Aston Villa.
