Nottingham Forest no get shot on target since 20th minute. Na 76th minute now. Coventry City dey enjoy success with long balls here.
Ibrahim Sangare cross is headed out to Xaver Schlager, whose shot is blocked by Loum Tchaouna. Another Sangare cross is cleared. Coventry captain Matt Grimes gets some treatment and then has to stand off the pitch for a bit because of rules. Forest send on Ibrahim Sangare and Luca Netz for Daniel Munoz and James McAtee.
Brandon Thomas-Asante flicks a header well wide from a cross. TV cameras dey show some gloomy Forest fans in the crowd. Stephen Mfuni boots the ball up field and Ellis Simms chases the ball all the way to Matz Sels.
Forest have Igor Jesus, Chris Wood and Liam Delap on the pitch now. All three of their experienced strikers. Igor Jesus clips the ball over Carl Rushworth and Bobby Thomas clears it off the line to stop an absolutely certain goal.
Coventry send on Ellis Simms for Jack Rudoni. Coventry’s Caleb Yirenkyi has committed five fouls so far. Only Newcastle‘s Nico Gonzalez has given away more fouls, six against Bournemouth, without receiving a yellow card in the Premier League this season.
A striker for a defender as Chris Wood replaces Ousmane Diomande for Forest. Forest striker Liam Delap shoots miles over the bar after cutting in. Brandon Thomas-Asante gets away down the right. He has three team-mates in the box, and Forest are stretched, but his pass goes in between all three of them.
Neco Williams crosses and Carl Rushworth catches and releases to get Coventry going again. Another long ball for Coventry, but this one runs too far for Loum Tchaouna to reach. Only two goalkeepers have ever assisted their team’s first goal in a Premier League campaign. The other was Peter Schmeichel to Mark Hughes for Manchester United in 1992.
