Cox opens scoring for dominant Forest

Solid performance from Simon Cox and a Darius Henderson late winner gave Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies something to enjoy from the directors’ box as he served a one-match touchline ban.

The Reds boss was absent from the sideline as a result of an angry confrontation with referee Craig Pawson at Wigan but saw his side show their character to claim a valuable three points against the struggling Tykes who pushed them all the way.
