Nottingham Forest Ends 10-Game Winless Run with 2-0 European Victory over Porto

Morgan Gibbs-White expressed relief and optimism after Nottingham Forest ended a difficult 10-game winless streak with a 2-0 Europa League victory over Porto, marking their first European win in 30 years. The win, secured by penalties from Gibbs-White and Igor Jesus, also provided Forest with their first clean sheet in 21 matches and came shortly after the club appointed Sean Dyche as their third manager of the season following the sacking of Ange Postecoglou. Gibbs-White credited Dyche for revitalizing team morale and reinstating a sense of identity and structure to the squad, emphasizing the positive energy and competitiveness Dyche has instilled. Despite the victory, Dyche noted this was only the first step, as the team still faces challenges in the Premier League where they sit 18th with just five points from eight games. The club and players acknowledged the fans' loyalty during the tough period and dedicated the win to their support. Overall, the result brought a much-needed boost to Nottingham Forest amid a turbulent season marked by managerial changes and poor form.
