Nottm Forest vs Coventry City Player Ratings

Summary

Coventry City moved up the EPL standings to 18th place following a gutsy 1-0 win away from home over Nottm Forest in matchweek 5 of the English Premier League.
The solitary goal from Jay Dasilva in the second half proved to be the decisive moment of the game as VAR saved them blushes.
Jay Dasilva at 7.9/10 was the man of the match on Saturday against Forest.

Frank Lampard and Coventry City notched their first win of the new campaign with some fortune of their own at the City Ground as they secured a 1-0 win on Saturday over a below par Nottm Forest and Oliver Glasner. A tough night in totality for the home side as VAR denied what could have been one point as they now sit 12th in the Premier League standings.

Conversely, a motivating and inspiring evening for everyone associated with the Sky Blues, saw them take home three points via a Jay Dasilva strike against a sleepy Nottm Forest side. Despite early attempts from the home side to take charge, missed opportunities and lack of alertness in the first half really hurt their chances as Lampard and his men stayed in the game. The game's only goal came in the 55th minute after Dasilva latched on to a lovely goal kick from Rushworth, as the former calmly finished past a helpless Sels in the Forest goal.

Jay Dasilva was the game's most complete performer, his relentless running and pressing bear fruit for the visitors as they now sit 18th in the league standings. Check out the Nottm Forest vs Coventry City player ratings.
