NOTTINGHAM: Jay Dasilva sealed Coventry City’s first Premier League win for 25 years on Saturday as Frank Lampard’s side finally kick-started their season with a 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest.

Coventry City secured their first Premier League victory in 25 years with a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest, thanks to a goal from Jay Dasilva. The Midlands side, who won last season’s Championship, had endured a poor start to their campaign, including a home defeat to Brighton and Hove Albion. However, Dasilva’s well-placed shot in the 55th minute proved decisive, despite Igor Jesus’s late claim to have equalised.
The goal was later confirmed by VAR, marking a significant milestone for the team. Frank Lampard, whose three Premier League titles came with Chelsea, praised his players for their efforts. This victory comes after a string of disappointing results, with Coventry’s last win in the league dating back to April 2001. The team now looks to enjoy a well-deserved break as they aim to establish themselves among the elite.
