The Sky Blues Secure Sixth Successive Win Over Watford

First-place Coventry continued their outstanding victory sequence with a commanding three to one result against ten-man Watford.

Early Scores Establish the Stage

The home side's squad began to a flying beginning with Brandon Thomas-Asante and the midfielder netting the goal within the opening minutes.

The Japanese winger made it a three-goal lead just before half-time, while James Abankwah was sent off before the half.

The midfielder converted a second-half for the away squad, but it proved nothing more than a consolation strike.

Coventry's goalkeeper Carl Rushworth had previously denied a clear opportunity for the winger, which could have changed the match early on.

The Coventry boss said: “This was a tough fixture this afternoon because Watford are a good outfit.”

Jack Clarke was introduced from the substitutes to score the only strike in a 1-0 success over the visitors.

They dominated the play but only found the tie in the closing stages thanks to the winger's fifth goal of the season.

Ryan Mason's side thought they had netted in stoppage time, but the header was disallowed for a offense in the area.

A Portsmouth defender turned a second-half mistake to hand Stoke a narrow win.

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

Mark Robins commented: “This was among the crucial successes we’ve had this campaign.”
