Sean Dyche enjoyed the perfect start as Nottingham Forest head coach as penalties from Morgan Gibbs-White and Igor Jesus earned a 2-0 Europa League victory over Porto at a boisterous City Ground.
The win was Forest's first since their Premier League opener in August, their first clean sheet since April and ended Porto's unbeaten start to the season just three days after Dyche's appointment on Tuesday.
Calm Amid the Chaos
Dyche became Forest's third head coach of the season following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou on Saturday, just 39 days after he had replaced Nuno Espirito Santo. Saturday's 3-0 defeat by Chelsea had ended Postecoglou's brief reign.
