The Sky Blues Claim 6th Successive Win Versus The Hornets

First-place Coventry continued their outstanding unbeaten run with a dominant 3-1 result against ten-man Watford.

Rapid Goals Establish the Pace

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

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

A Watford player scored a second-half for the losing squad, but it turned out to be nothing more than a meaningless effort.

Their keeper Carl Rushworth had previously blocked a golden chance for the winger, which could have changed the game early on.

The Coventry boss said: “This was a challenging fixture this afternoon because Watford are a good team.”

An Ipswich player was introduced from the bench to score the only strike in a 1-0 success over West Brom.

Ipswich dominated the play but only broke the goalless draw in the closing stages thanks to Clarke's fifth strike of the season.

The away team thought they had equalized in added time, but the effort was ruled out for a foul in the area.

Hayden Matthews scored a late own goal to give the visitors a 1-0 victory.

The home side have now secured just one game since the end of last month.

Mark Robins said: “It was one of the most important wins we’ve secured this season.”
