Coventry Secure 6th Consecutive Triumph Against The Hornets

League leaders extended their outstanding unbeaten run with a dominant three-one scoreline against a player-down Watford.

Quick Scores Establish the Pace

The home side's team began to a ideal beginning with their striker and the midfielder netting the goal within the opening minutes.

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto made it a 3-0 advantage just before the break, while the visitors' player was sent off before the whistle.

Imran Louza netted a spot-kick for the away side, but it was nothing more than a late strike.

The home side's shot-stopper Carl Rushworth had before denied a golden opportunity for Rocco Vata, which could have changed the contest early on.

The Coventry boss commented: “This was a tough match today because the opposition are a strong outfit.”

The substitute was introduced from the substitutes to net the lone strike in a narrow win over the Baggies.

The home side controlled the play but only found the tie late thanks to the winger's fifth goal of the season.

West Brom thought they had scored in stoppage time, but the goal was disallowed for a infringement in the box.

The home player scored a unfortunate own strike to give Mark Robins' team a one-zero victory.

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

The Stoke manager said: “It was one of the vital successes we’ve secured this campaign.”
