What happened. Coventry secured their first Premier League win of the campaign by beating Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Defender Jay Dasilva ran through unchallenged and fired home the game's goal.

• Frank Lampard compared Dasilva's finish to former Chelsea teammate Ashley Cole.
• Lampard said the win matters for players making their Premier League debuts.
• It was Coventry's first goal of the season.

“He reminded me of Ashley Cole because he scored a few of those.”
