Haji Wright’s Late Winner Lifts Coventry Over Leicester in M69 Derby

Tactical substitutions turned the game to steady Coventry’s promotion bid.

Overview

  • Wright struck in the 85th minute for his first goal since October to complete the comeback.
  • Ellis Simms leveled two minutes after the break by diverting Jack Rudoni’s drive past the keeper.
  • Jordan James had put Leicester ahead in the 10th minute following a move initiated by Abdul Fatawu.
  • Frank Lampard introduced Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and Wright on 66 minutes, with Sakamoto’s shot across goal creating the decisive chance.
  • The result offered a timely lift after a stretch of two wins in eight and the late-December home defeat to Ipswich, with Millwall up next on Tuesday.
