Coventry earned a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, according to Sky Sports, with Jay Dasilva scoring the only goal to secure their first Premier League victory in 25 years.

The report says the breakthrough came in the 55th minute when goalkeeper Carl Rushworth launched the move and Dasilva finished beyond Matz Sels. Forest thought they had equalised late on, but an 86th-minute goal by substitute Igor Jesus was ruled out after a VAR review.

Sky Sports also reported that Bobby Thomas made a crucial goalline clearance as Coventry protected the lead. The result ended Coventry’s winless start to the season and moved them out of last place on goal difference.
