What happened. Jay Dasilva's 55th-minute strike gave Coventry a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, their first Premier League victory in over 25 years. Forest had a late Igor Jesus goal ruled out by VAR for a foul in the build-up.

• Coventry ended a run of four straight defeats without scoring
• Bobby Thomas cleared Igor Jesus' goalbound shot off the line
• Forest are still without a home win this season

“We were really good – we played with personality and confidence.”

— Frank Lampard

Lampard hopes the win is a springboard as Coventry climb off the foot of the table and look to beat the drop.
