Coventry Notch Sixth Successive Victory Versus The Hornets

League leaders continued their impressive winning streak with a dominant 3-1 scoreline against ten-man their opponents.

Early Strikes Set the Stage

The home side's squad got off to a ideal start with their striker and Jamie Allen scoring the goal within the initial minutes.

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto made it a third advantage just before the break, while James Abankwah was shown a red card before the whistle.

Imran Louza scored a spot-kick for the visiting squad, but it turned out to be nothing more than a consolation goal.

Coventry's shot-stopper Carl Rushworth had earlier blocked a one-on-one opportunity for the winger, which could have changed the game early on.

Lampard commented: “This was a tough match today because the opposition are a strong side.”

Jack Clarke came off the bench to net the lone strike in a one-nil success over the visitors.

They controlled the game but only found the tie late thanks to the winger's 5th strike of the campaign.

The away team thought they had scored in added time, but the effort was disallowed for a offense in the box.

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

The home side have currently managed just a single match since the end of August.

The Stoke manager remarked: “This was one of the vital wins we’ve had this campaign.”
