Overview
- Sindre Walle Egeli opened the scoring on 43 minutes, George Hirst made it 2-0 on the hour, and Ivan Azon added a stoppage‑time third.
- Frank Lampard argued Hirst should have received a second yellow before his goal, noting Josh Eccles had earlier been booked for shooting after the whistle under referee Paul Tierney.
- Walton denied clear first‑half chances from Eccles and Ephron Mason‑Clark, while Kaine Kesler‑Hayden headed wide from close range.
- The loss ended Coventry's five-match winning run and was only their second away defeat of the Championship season.
- Kaine Kesler‑Hayden started wide with Daizen Sakamoto still out with concussion, with 29,025 in attendance at Portman Road; Coventry travel to Preston on Tuesday.
