Coventry Secure Sixth Consecutive Win Over Watford
First-place Coventry extended their outstanding unbeaten run with a commanding three to one performance against a player-down their opponents.
Early Strikes Pave the Pace
Frank Lampard's lineup started to a perfect start with Brandon Thomas-Asante and Jamie Allen scoring the target within the first seven minutes.
Another Coventry attacker made it a 3-0 advantage just before the break, while James Abankwah was sent off before the whistle.
The visitors Manage a Second-Half Strike
Imran Louza netted a spot-kick for the visiting side, but it proved nothing more than a late effort.
The home side's goalkeeper Carl Rushworth had previously denied a golden opportunity for Watford, which could have changed the match early on.
Lampard commented: “That was a challenging fixture today because the opposition are a good side.”
The Tractor Boys Get Back to Winning Form
Jack Clarke came off the bench to net the decisive goal in a narrow success over the visitors.
Ipswich controlled the game but only secured the tie near the end thanks to the winger's fifth strike of the campaign.
West Brom thought they had netted in added time, but the goal was disallowed for a offense in the box.
Stoke Secure Narrow Win at Fratton Park
The home player headed a unfortunate own strike to give Mark Robins' team a 1-0 victory.
The home side have at present secured just a single match since the close of the summer.
The Stoke manager commented: “That was among the most important wins we’ve achieved this campaign.”
