Nottingham Forest new manager, Sean Dyche, has brought smiles to both the boss and the supporters after securing a 2-0 win against FC Porto in the Europa League on Thursday.

Forest, who sacked Ange Postecoglou after just 40 days and eight games in charge on Saturday, had not won in 10 games stretching back to the opening weekend of the Premier League season.

But Dyche, who began his playing career at the two-time European champions, roused an immediate impact, even if Forest needed some fortune from VAR interventions to get the better of the Portuguese giants.

Morgan Gibbs-White fired in from the spot 19 minutes after Jan Bednarek had been penalized for handball.

Furthermore, Bednarek, a former Southampton defender, thought he had equalized early in the second half, only for the goal to be ruled out after a VAR review for offside against Samu Aghehowa.

The video assistant referee also came to the home side’s aid when Nicola Savona was initially booked for diving, only for that decision to be overturned and a second penalty awarded 13 minutes from time.

In conclusion, this win in the Europa League will boost their momentum in the Premier League to work hard and go back to their winning ways. Additionally, Forest are to face Bournemouth on Sunday the 26th at 5:00PM (East African Time).
