Coventry Secure Sixth Consecutive Triumph Over Watford

First-place Coventry continued their impressive victory sequence with a dominant three-one scoreline against reduced the visiting side.

Early Strikes Set the Pace

The home side's squad got off to a flying beginning with their striker and the midfielder netting the goal within the initial minutes.

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto added a 3-0 lead just before the break, while a Watford defender was dismissed before the half.

A Watford player netted a penalty for the away squad, but it was nothing more than a late effort.

Their goalkeeper Carl Rushworth had earlier denied a clear chance for the winger, which could have altered the game early on.

Frank Lampard said: “That was a tough match today because they are a good team.”

An Ipswich player was introduced from the substitutes to net the only goal in a narrow victory over West Brom.

They commanded the play but only broke the goalless draw late thanks to his fifth strike of the season.

West Brom thought they had scored in added time, but the goal was ruled out for a infringement in the area.

A Portsmouth defender turned a unfortunate own goal to give the visitors a one-zero result.

Portsmouth have now won just a single fixture since the end of August.

Robins said: “It was among the vital successes we’ve had this campaign.”
