The Sky Blues Secure Sixth Consecutive Win Against Watford

First-place Coventry prolonged their outstanding victory sequence with a dominant 3-1 scoreline against ten-man Watford.

Rapid Strikes Establish the Pace

The Coventry manager's lineup got off to a flying start with Brandon Thomas-Asante and the midfielder scoring the target within the initial minutes.

The Japanese winger added a 3-0 goal just before half-time, while the visitors' player was dismissed before the whistle.

A Watford player converted a second-half for the visiting side, but it turned out to be nothing more than a late goal.

Coventry's goalkeeper Carl Rushworth had before blocked a golden chance for the winger, which could have swung the contest early on.

Lampard said: “This was a tough match this afternoon because they are a strong side.”

The substitute was introduced from the substitutes to score the decisive strike in a narrow success over the visitors.

The home side controlled the play but only broke the goalless draw near the end thanks to Clarke's fifth strike of the campaign.

West Brom thought they had netted in injury time, but the effort was disallowed for a foul in the area.

The home player turned a second-half own goal to give Mark Robins' team a narrow result.

The home side have currently won just one match since the conclusion of August.

Robins said: “This was one of the most important victories we’ve achieved this campaign.”
