Yuri Ribeiro was given a long-awaited start for Nottingham Forest last night, as the Reds beat Coventry City 2-1 at the City Ground.

It has been a disappointing start to 2020/21 for Ribeiro, who has found game time hard to come by on Trentside.

The full-back fell out of favour under Sabri Lamouchi despite being a key player last term, and had made only two appearances this season before last night.

Ribeiro produced a solid display upon his return to the team. The full-back defended well, won plenty of aerial duels, and offered threat going forward.

He didn't contribute to a lot in the final third, but his link-up play with Luke Freeman was impressive at times, and the Portuguese defender hardly put a foot wrong.
