"Brandon Thomas-Asante's double secured Coventry a fifth straight victory as Frank Lampard's side extended their lead at the top of the Championship table by beating Portsmouth 2-1. Thomas-Asante converted his seventh and eighth goals of the season to move the unbeaten Sky Blues four points clear. The Coventry goalkeeper Carl Rushworth surpassed Horace Pearson's club-record streak of 608 minutes without conceding a mark that had stood since 1934 before his goal was finally breached by Makenzie Kirk's delightful lob in stoppage time."
"We nearly had a full squad a few days ago but since then about five players have fallen over, said Neil. It's an incredible effort from the players to be where we are considering how many injuries we have had. Will's hurt his hamstring which is a blow. I don't know how serious it is yet. We beat a good side tonight. They were third before tonight and we deserved to win."
Coventry secured a fifth straight Championship victory as Brandon Thomas-Asante scored twice in a 2-1 win over Portsmouth, moving the Sky Blues four points clear. Carl Rushworth set a new club record by going 608 minutes without conceding before Makenzie Kirk's stoppage-time lob ended the streak. Frank Lampard's management is driving Coventry's resurgence and improving his own career momentum. Millwall climbed to third despite mounting injuries, with Femi Azeez and Tristan Crama scoring in a 2-0 win over Stoke. Will Smallbone suffered a hamstring injury and joins a growing list of casualties. Bristol City recovered to beat Southampton 3-1 as Scott Twine scored twice and Anis Mehmeti equalized early in the second half.
