The Sky Blues Claim 6th Straight Victory Versus The Hornets

Table-toppers prolonged their outstanding unbeaten run with a commanding three-one scoreline against a player-down Watford.

Early Strikes Set the Tone

Frank Lampard's squad got off to a perfect beginning with Brandon Thomas-Asante and the midfielder finding the goal within the initial minutes.

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto contributed a 3-0 lead just before the interval, while the visitors' player was shown a red card before the half.

The midfielder netted a second-half for the losing team, but it turned out to be nothing more than a late goal.

Their shot-stopper Carl Rushworth had previously blocked a golden opportunity for Watford, which could have altered the contest early on.

Frank Lampard stated: “That was a tough fixture today because Watford are a quality team.”

Jack Clarke came off the sideline to net the lone strike in a narrow win over West Brom.

The home side commanded the match but only secured the tie near the end thanks to the winger's 5th strike of the campaign.

Ryan Mason's side thought they had equalized in stoppage time, but the goal was disallowed for a offense in the box.

Hayden Matthews scored a second-half own goal to give Mark Robins' team a 1-0 victory.

The home side have now secured just one game since the end of the summer.

Robins said: “It was one of the vital wins we’ve achieved this campaign.”
