Coventry Claim Sixth Consecutive Win Versus The Hornets

First-place Coventry extended their remarkable winning streak with a commanding 3-1 scoreline against ten-man Watford.

Early Strikes Pave the Stage

Frank Lampard's squad got off to a flying beginning with their striker and the midfielder finding the goal within the first seven minutes.

The Japanese winger added a 3-0 lead just before the break, while James Abankwah was sent off before the whistle.

A Watford player scored a spot-kick for the visiting squad, but it was nothing more than a late strike.

Coventry's shot-stopper the keeper had previously denied a clear chance for Rocco Vata, which could have changed the game early on.

Lampard said: “That was a difficult fixture this afternoon because they are a strong outfit.”

An Ipswich player came off the bench to net the only strike in a narrow success over the Baggies.

The home side dominated the match but only secured the goalless draw in the closing stages thanks to Clarke's 5th strike of the campaign.

Ryan Mason's side thought they had equalized in stoppage time, but the header was chalked off for a infringement in the box.

The home player scored a late mistake to present Stoke a 1-0 victory.

John Mousinho's men have now won just a single game since the conclusion of the summer.

The Stoke manager commented: “This was among the most important wins we’ve had this campaign.”
