Jay Dasilva’s second-half strike was enough to end a 25-year drought for the Sky Blues in the top flight and hand Frank Lampard his first league points of the campaign. For Nottingham Forest FC, the search for a home goal continues amid a growing sense of frustration and a lack of attacking spark.
There was also a resilient display from Everton FC, who edged past Ipswich Town FC 1-0 thanks to their defensive discipline, maintaining an unbeaten start to the season under David Moyes. Meanwhile, Newcastle United FC overcame a mounting injury list to dispatch Hull City AFC 2-1, with early goals from Joe Willock and Lewis Hall proving decisive.
