""I feel like I can finally breathe," the Forest captain told TNT Sports. "It's been a difficult couple of months here with all the change that's happened, the bad performances, so just happy to get our first win out of eight or nine games I think it is. "To do it here at the City Ground on a European night is an incredible feeling and there's no-one that deserves it more than the fans. Those three points were for the fans for sticking by us.""
"Gibbs-White credited new boss Dyche for lifting the morale and making things feel "a lot more energetic, a lot more positive" -- something the new boss felt in his side's display. But the new Forest boss stressed this is just the first step for a side that sit 18th in the Premier League having secured just five points from the opening eight games. "It's pleasing for everyone concerned with the football club," the new head coach said. "It is a step, that's all it is, because the Premier League we have got to do well in that as well. "We want a team that is competitive in all competitions, of course every manager does""
Nottingham Forest secured a much-needed 2-0 Europa League win over previously unbeaten Porto, marking the club's first European victory at the City Ground in 30 years. The result halted a difficult 10-match winless run and followed the recent dismissals of Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou, with Sean Dyche appointed as the club's third manager of the season. Captain Morgan Gibbs-White scored from the penalty spot and said he could "finally breathe" after the victory. Dyche described the win as a step forward while warning that Premier League form remains a priority as Forest sit 18th with five points from eight games.
