- Romain Esse put Coventry ahead against his former club before Mihailo Ivanovic equalised, then Wright sealed it with a 78th-minute finish for his 10th of the season.
- The result completed back-to-back wins, following Saturday’s defeat of Leicester, and extended Coventry’s cushion over third place to nine points as Ipswich moved into second.
- Lampard’s lineup tweaks included recalls for Josh Eccles and Haji Wright, with Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and Brandon Thomas-Asante coming on to combine in the build-up to the winner.
- Goalkeeper Carl Rushworth made pivotal saves, notably a one-handed stop from Ivanovic, with Jay Dasilva heading the rebound off the line.
- Millwall manager Alex Neil said his side looked the more likely to score before Coventry’s late goal, pointing to missed chances in a tight contest.
