Mark Robins' side Claim 6th Successive Victory Versus Watford

First-place Coventry extended their outstanding unbeaten run with a dominant three-one performance against a player-down Watford.

Quick Strikes Establish the Tone

The Coventry manager's squad got off to a perfect start with their striker and the midfielder finding the back of the net within the opening minutes.

The Japanese winger added a 3-0 goal just before half-time, while a Watford defender was sent off before the whistle.

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

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

The Coventry boss said: “This was a tough fixture today because they are a strong outfit.”

The substitute was introduced from the substitutes to fire the lone strike in a one-nil win over West Brom.

Ipswich dominated the play but only broke the tie late thanks to the winger's fifth goal of the campaign.

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

A Portsmouth defender headed a second-half mistake to present the visitors a narrow result.

Portsmouth have at present managed just one game since the end of last month.

Robins remarked: “This was one of the vital successes we’ve secured this season.”
