The Sky Blues Claim 6th Successive Victory Against The Hornets

First-place Coventry prolonged their remarkable victory sequence with a decisive 3-1 result against reduced Watford.

Quick Goals Set the Pace

The Coventry manager's lineup started to a flying beginning with their striker and Jamie Allen scoring the goal within the opening minutes.

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto contributed a 3-0 lead just before the interval, while a Watford defender was shown a red card before the break.

Imran Louza netted a penalty for the losing side, but it proved nothing more than a consolation strike.

Coventry's keeper Carl Rushworth had previously blocked a clear opportunity for the winger, which could have changed the game early on.

Frank Lampard commented: “That was a tough match now because the opposition are a strong side.”

An Ipswich player was introduced from the substitutes to fire the lone goal in a narrow success over the visitors.

They commanded the play but only found the deadlock in the closing stages thanks to the winger's 5th goal of the campaign.

Ryan Mason's side thought they had scored in added time, but the goal was ruled out for a foul in the box.

The home player headed a unfortunate mistake to give Mark Robins' team a narrow result.

John Mousinho's men have at present managed just one match since the conclusion of last month.

Robins said: “That was one of the vital wins we’ve secured this campaign.”
