Nottingham Forest boss Chris Hughton hailed his side’s character after they came from behind to snatch a 2-1 win against Coventry City.
Sky Blues forward Max Biamou had given Mark Robins’ side the lead with a crisp finish but the Reds hit back to level through Lewis Grabban.
After going in level at the break, Forest then found the breakthrough when Cyrus Christie’s terrific cross hit Michael Rose and went in.
Coventry responded valiantly and laid siege to the visitors' goal late on, with Brice Samba making a fine save to deny Matty James.
Player ratings
Nottingham Forest returned to winning ways as they beat Coventry City 2-1 at St Andrew's.
The Reds had fallen behind to Max Biamou's opener after 17 minutes, but quickly equalised through Lewis Grabban.
And they took the lead in the second half through a Michael Rose own goal.
Here's how Leigh Curtis rated the Forest players.
Done deal
Nottingham Forest have confirmed midfielder Cafu's loan move from Olympiacos has been made permanent.
The 27-year-old had made the move to the City Ground from the fellow Evangelos Marinakis-owned club in the summer, on a season-long loan deal.
But he is now set to stay with the Reds on a permanent basis.
Cafu has made 15 appearances for the club so far this season, becoming a regular under manager Chris Hughton.
Ole's backing
Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has backed James Garner to learn from his last loan spell after making the move to Nottingham Forest.
The midfielder will spend the rest of the season with the Reds, on loan from the Premier League giants, after putting pen to paper at the weekend.
He could make his debut against Coventry City this evening as Chris Hughton’s side aim to get back to winning ways.
If he is included in the visitors’ XI, it will be his first league start since the middle of December, during his stint at Watford in the first half of the campaign.
Owner's support
Nottingham Forest boss Chris Hughton believes his squad is stronger now the January transfer window has closed than it was at the start of the month.
And he has thanked owner Evangelos Marinakis and the club’s board for their support in getting business done.
The Reds have added loanees Filip Krovinovic and James Garner, signed Glenn Murray on a short-term contract and extended Anthony Knockaert’s stay from Fulham.
With Forest struggling at the bottom end of the Championship table, Hughton made it a priority to strengthen his attacking resources.
