Coventry Secure 6th Consecutive Triumph Versus The Hornets

First-place Coventry prolonged their remarkable victory sequence with a commanding three-one result against ten-man Watford.

Quick Goals Establish the Stage

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

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto added a three-goal advantage just before half-time, while James Abankwah was sent off before the half.

The midfielder netted a spot-kick for the away squad, but it was nothing more than a meaningless goal.

The home side's shot-stopper Carl Rushworth had previously denied a clear opportunity for Rocco Vata, which could have altered the match early on.

Lampard stated: “This was a challenging game this afternoon because the opposition are a quality team.”

The substitute came off the bench to fire the only strike in a narrow win over the visitors.

Ipswich controlled the play but only found the deadlock in the closing stages thanks to Clarke's fifth strike of the campaign.

West Brom thought they had equalized in added time, but the goal was disallowed for a foul in the area.

Hayden Matthews headed a second-half own strike to present Stoke a narrow victory.

Portsmouth have now secured just one match since the close of last month.

The Stoke manager commented: “This was one of the crucial victories we’ve achieved this campaign.”
