Coventry Beat Watford to Extend Championship Lead

Coventry City extended their Championship lead to four points with a sixth straight win, beating 10‑man Watford 3-1 as Brandon Thomas‑Asante and Jamie Allen struck early and keeper Carl Rushworth made key saves. The result came among a full slate of fixtures that also included Blackburn v Southampton, Millwall v Leicester and Portsmouth v Stoke, with Stoke able to move back into the top six. The division remains fiercely competitive, with relegated Premier League sides Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton and newly promoted Birmingham and Wrexham all in contention. Weekend action featured Preston North End's dramatic 3-2 comeback against Sheffield United and Ipswich capitalising on a late West Brom mistake. Sheffield Wednesday have entered administration and fans have ended a boycott amid the club's crisis.
