"Forest started brightly and Callum Hudson-Odoi was unfortunate not to give them the lead as he was denied by Diogo Costa before seeing another effort deflected behind. But Forest were rewarded for their attacking endeavour when former Southampton defender Jan Bednarek handled in the area, enabling Gibbs-White to step up and fire into the bottom-left corner. Porto, having gone behind for the first time this season, were blunt as an attacking force in response."
"Six minutes into the second half Porto appeared to have their leveller, with Bednarek turning in after Forest failed to clear a corner. However, VAR ruled that Samu Aghehowa had interfered with play from an offside position in the build-up, raising a cheer from the raucous crowd in the City Ground. And they had more to cheer after Martim Fernandes brought down Nicolo Savona in the area."
Sean Dyche took charge of Nottingham Forest this week and oversaw a 2-0 Europa League victory over Porto, secured by two penalties. Morgan Gibbs-White converted a 19th-minute spot-kick after Jan Bednarek handled in the area, and Igor Jesus wrapped up the win from the penalty spot in the 77th minute. Forest started brightly with Callum Hudson-Odoi testing Diogo Costa, and Porto struggled to respond until the second half. A Bednarek goal was disallowed after VAR flagged Samu Aghehowa for offside interference, and Martim Fernandes conceded the second penalty by bringing down Nicolo Savona.
