That tally of 35 shots was the second most in a Premier League game without scoring in the last 10 seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stalemate proved costly for Dyche, whose departure is the club\u2019s third dismissal of the campaign, following the exits of Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou. As a result, Forest are the first Premier League side to sack three managers in a single season since Watford &#8211; who else &#8211; in 2019-20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/12105608\/SYMHM-26-Dyche-819x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1432889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/12105608\/SYMHM-26-Dyche-819x1024.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/12105608\/SYMHM-26-Dyche-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/12105608\/SYMHM-26-Dyche-768x960.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/12105608\/SYMHM-26-Dyche-1229x1536.jpeg 1229w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/12105608\/SYMHM-26-Dyche-1638x2048.jpeg 1638w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/12105608\/SYMHM-26-Dyche-214x267.jpeg 214w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/12105608\/SYMHM-26-Dyche-160x200.jpeg 160w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/12105608\/SYMHM-26-Dyche-48x60.jpeg 48w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/12105608\/SYMHM-26-Dyche-120x150.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/12105608\/SYMHM-26-Dyche-32x40.jpeg 32w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/02\/12105608\/SYMHM-26-Dyche.jpeg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-milner-s-milestone\">Milner\u2019s milestone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>James Milner equalled Gareth Barry\u2019s 653 match Premier League appearance record.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Brighton sunk to a late 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa in an underwhelming match that will be best remembered for James Milner\u2019s milestone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The midfielder\u2019s appearance off the bench saw him equal Gareth Barry\u2019s 653 Premier League appearance record.
