Nottingham Forest finally won at home for the first time this season, beating Coventry City 2-1 deep into stoppage time.
Lyle Taylor was bundled over by Kyle McFadzean and after referee Geoff Eltringham pointed to the spot, the ex-Charlton man tucked home the penalty.
Scott McKenna’s first Forest goal had given the Reds a half-time advantage.
The Reds were pegged back early in the second half by a Callum O’Hare goal and from there it was all Sky Blues.
Forest were lucky not to lose on the night but they have played well in the past and not earned anything for their efforts.
This was a welcome role reversal in that sense and supporters were glad to see Yuri Ribeiro back in the side.
The Portuguese left-back had found himself frozen out in recent weeks but put in a strong performance.
He was given a tough examination in the second half as Sam McCallum tried to get forward.
Ribeiro coped reasonably well, however, and supporters hope to see more of the 23-year-old.
Here is what the Forest faithful were saying about the Portuguese performer.
Ribeiro has to be 1st choice

Christie just isn't mobile and is a liability
Arter is needed in the middle #nffc
Totally agree with all of that!!! Apart from his first game, Christie has been poor. Figs been making mistakes for months. Arter deserves more game time. Keep Ribeiro on the left. Need Grabban back. Lolley needs to find his mojo again.

Bet the ref has been polishing his red card since he saw Colback and Sow were both playing, great to see Ribeiro back in the starting 11, if Forest click we’ve got this surely 👌

Very happy to see Yuri Ribeiro back in the #NFFC team. Feels like maybe the manager is now calling the shots. Now please don't prove me wrong!
