On the opening weekend of 2025, Forest beat Wolves 3-0 to consolidate their position in the Premier League's top three. Dyche is already Forest's third manager of the season and the SOS went to him in October after Ange Postecoglou's brief and damaging reign. "You can't give basic errors away to teams like this in the Premier League," Dyche told BBC Match of the Day. Villa had been restricted to one chance - a golden one - when goalkeeper John denied Watkins early. McGinn scored the first of his two goals in the 49th minute to give high-flying Villa a handy 2-0 cushion.
