Coventry City have secured their first victory of the 2026/27 Premier League season. In a tightly contested match, Frank Lampard's side edged past Nottingham Forest with a narrow 1-0 win.
Dasilva seals the victory for Coventry
The only goal of the match came in the 55th minute when Jay Dasilva received a pass from Karl Rushworth and found the back of the net, giving Coventry the lead at 1-0.
This marked Dasilva's first goal for Coventry.
Following the goal, Nottingham Forest ramped up their efforts to find an equaliser, but the visitors' defence withstood the pressure.
In a dramatic turn, Forest thought they had equalised in the 87th minute when Igor Jesus found the net, only for the goal to be ruled out after a VAR review due to a foul. Ultimately, Coventry held on to their slender lead until the final whistle.
Before this match, Coventry had failed to collect a single point from their first four matches of the season. This victory at the City Ground marks a crucial turning point for the team in the current Premier League campaign.
