The Sky Blues Claim Sixth Straight Victory Over The Hornets

Table-toppers continued their impressive winning streak with a commanding three-one result against ten-man their opponents.

Rapid Strikes Establish the Tone

The Coventry manager's squad got off to a ideal start with their striker and Jamie Allen netting 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 converted a penalty for the visiting side, but it was nothing more than a meaningless goal.

Coventry's keeper Carl Rushworth had earlier denied a golden opportunity for Watford, which could have altered the contest early on.

Frank Lampard commented: “It was a challenging game this afternoon because Watford are a strong outfit.”

Jack Clarke was introduced from the bench to score the decisive strike in a one-nil victory over the visitors.

They controlled the match but only broke the deadlock near the end thanks to his fifth goal of the campaign.

The away team thought they had netted in injury time, but the goal was chalked off for a infringement in the box.

A Portsmouth defender turned a late own strike to hand Mark Robins' team a one-zero win.

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

Mark Robins remarked: “It was one of the crucial victories we’ve achieved this campaign.”
