Coventry finally get their first Premier League win in 25 years

Jay Dasilva's second-half strike beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground, with a late Forest equalizer ruled out by VAR.

Jay Dasilva scored the only goal as Coventry City beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the City Ground, sealing the promoted side's first Premier League win in 25 years — and a VAR review disallowed a late Forest equalizer to keep the result standing.

Frank Lampard's side had opened the season with a brutal run of fixtures, including away trips to Arsenal and Manchester City, and were coming off a 5-0 defeat before this result. Ending a 25-year wait for a top-flight win, against the backdrop of that fixture list, is as much about survival-mode relief as it is about the three points themselves.

Why it matters. Ends the longest wait of any club currently in the top flight to open its account.
