Overview
- Coventry won 3-0 at the CBS Arena, with goals from Brandon Thomas-Asante, a Bright Osayi-Samuel own goal and Victor Torp.
- Jack Robinson was sent off for a second yellow card before half-time, and Birmingham failed to register a shot on target.
- Frank Lampard’s side remained unbeaten through seven league games and briefly rose to second in the table during Saturday’s slate.
- Coventry prevailed despite injuries to Jack Rudoni and Ephron Mason-Clark, with Josh Eccles starting and helping create the second goal.
- Lampard called the display outstanding and said the red card was clear, while Chris Davies criticized the bookings and said Coventry’s time-wasting went unpunished; Robinson will be suspended for Tuesday’s match against Sheffield Wednesday.
