Coventry Notch 6th Straight Triumph Versus Watford

First-place Coventry extended their remarkable winning streak with a decisive three-one performance against reduced their opponents.

Rapid Goals Pave the Tone

The Coventry manager's squad got off to a perfect start with their striker and the midfielder netting the goal within the first seven minutes.

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto made it a 3-0 advantage just before the interval, while James Abankwah was dismissed before the whistle.

A Watford player scored a spot-kick for the away team, but it was nothing more than a late goal.

Their shot-stopper Carl Rushworth had before blocked a clear opportunity for Rocco Vata, which could have changed the contest early on.

Lampard said: “This was a challenging match now because they are a good outfit.”

An Ipswich player was introduced from the substitutes to score the only goal in a 1-0 victory over West Brom.

Ipswich dominated the match but only broke the goalless draw late thanks to Clarke's fifth goal of the season.

The away team thought they had equalized in added time, but the header was chalked off for a infringement in the penalty area.

Hayden Matthews turned a late own goal to present Mark Robins' team a narrow victory.

The home side have at present won just one game since the close of last month.

Robins commented: “That was one of the vital successes we’ve secured this campaign.”
