Coventry City beat Nottingham Forest to end 25-year Premier League win drought
Frank Lampard's Coventry City secured their first top-flight victory in a quarter century with a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday.
Late goal ends long wait
Jay Dasilva scored the winning goal in the 55th minute after controlling a long delivery from keeper Carl Rushworth. The midfielder cut inside to bend a shot past Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels. This result marked the club's first top-division win since April 2001.
Controversial VAR decision stands
Coventry fans were angered when a late equaliser for Nottingham Forest was disallowed following a video review. Igor Jesus appeared to have clipped the foot of Caleb Yirenkyi before the goal was chalked off. The match ended with Coventry City remaining ahead after the check.
Manager calls for caution
Frank Lampard told his players to keep their feet on the ground despite the historic result. He noted that many of the squad members are having their first stint in Premier League football. The team must replicate their defensive performance on a weekly basis to maintain progress.
