Coventry City (a Midlands club newly promoted from the Championship) ended a 25-year wait for a Premier League victory on Saturday, beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 away thanks to a 55th-minute strike from Jay Dasilva. The win came after a brutal start to the season that included five-goal defeats and losses to Arsenal and Manchester City, leaving the club without a point or goal through their opening four games. Manager Frank Lampard, a three-time Premier League winner as a player, said the result was crucial for a squad in which many players are making their top-flight debuts, giving them proof they belong at the highest level.
