Rudoni scores in added time to put leaders eight clear
Drop fears grow for Leicester with 2-0 loss to Norwich
Jack Rudoni’s goal four minutes into second-half stoppage time gave leaders Coventry their fourth win in a row with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Stoke.
Haji Wright headed them ahead before Ben Gibson equalised on the stroke of half-time with what proved to be Stoke’s only shot on target. Rudoni capitalised on an error from the onrushing Tommy Simkin in added time to put Coventry eight points clear of second-placed Middlesbrough, who travel to Birmingham on Monday.
Frank Lampard called the display one of Coventry’s best of the season, saying: “We were fantastic today, from the first minute. We should have been two or three goals ahead at half-time for our play, but football sometimes kicks you where you don’t want it to. They get a free-kick in their own half, launch it in the box, get their first corner and score and that’s obviously disheartening.
