Coventry Notch 6th Straight Victory Against The Hornets

Table-toppers continued their remarkable victory sequence with a decisive 3-1 result against a player-down their opponents.

Rapid Goals Set the Stage

Frank Lampard's squad started to a ideal start with their striker and Jamie Allen netting the goal within the opening minutes.

Another Coventry attacker contributed a third goal just before the interval, while a Watford defender was shown a red card before the half.

A Watford player scored a spot-kick for the away side, but it was nothing more than a consolation effort.

Coventry's goalkeeper the keeper had before blocked a one-on-one opportunity for Watford, which could have swung the match early on.

Lampard commented: “It was a tough game this afternoon because Watford are a good side.”

Jack Clarke came off the sideline to fire the only strike in a narrow victory over the visitors.

Ipswich commanded the game but only broke the tie late thanks to the winger's fifth strike of the season.

West Brom thought they had netted in injury time, but the header was chalked off for a infringement in the area.

Hayden Matthews turned a late own goal to hand Mark Robins' team a one-zero win.

The home side have now managed just one match since the end of August.

The Stoke manager said: “This was one of the vital successes we’ve achieved this campaign.”
