NOTTINGHAM: Nottingham Forest handed manager Sean Dyche the perfect debut with a 2-0 home win over Porto in the Europa League on Thursday, with both goals coming from the penalty spot as the hosts ended a run of 10 games without victory.
Dyche replaced the sacked Ange Postecoglou on Tuesday, to become the club’s third manager this campaign, and led Forest to their first win since the opening day of the season, along with their first clean sheet since April.
Morgan Gibbs-White made no mistake from the spot in the 19th minute after a Jan Bednarek handball and Igor Jesus did likewise 13 minutes from time to calm the nerves of the home fans, finally able to celebrate for the first time since August.
