Coventry Claim 6th Successive Win Versus Watford

First-place Coventry extended their outstanding winning streak with a dominant 3-1 result against a player-down their opponents.

Quick Strikes Pave the Pace

Frank Lampard's squad began to a perfect start with their striker and Jamie Allen netting the target within the opening minutes.

The Japanese winger contributed a three-goal lead just before the interval, while James Abankwah was shown a red card before the break.

A Watford player scored a penalty for the losing side, but it was nothing more than a late goal.

The home side's keeper Carl Rushworth had before denied a clear chance for Watford, which could have swung the contest early on.

Lampard stated: “This was a difficult match now because the opposition are a strong team.”

Jack Clarke came off the substitutes to net the lone goal in a one-nil victory over the visitors.

The home side dominated the play but only found the tie in the closing stages thanks to Clarke's 5th goal of the campaign.

Ryan Mason's side thought they had scored in stoppage time, but the header was disallowed for a foul in the penalty area.

Hayden Matthews headed a unfortunate own goal to give Mark Robins' team a narrow result.

The home side have now secured just one fixture since the conclusion of last month.

The Stoke manager commented: “That was one of the most important wins we’ve achieved this season.”
