Mark Robins' side Claim 6th Straight Victory Over Watford

Table-toppers extended their impressive unbeaten run with a decisive three-one result against a player-down their opponents.

Quick Strikes Set the Tone

Frank Lampard's lineup started to a flying start with Brandon Thomas-Asante and Jamie Allen netting the goal within the opening minutes.

The Japanese winger added a third lead just before half-time, while a Watford defender was shown a red card before the half.

Imran Louza scored a spot-kick for the losing team, but it turned out to be nothing more than a consolation strike.

Coventry's shot-stopper the keeper had earlier blocked a golden opportunity for Rocco Vata, which could have swung the match early on.

Lampard stated: “That was a challenging fixture now because they are a good side.”

The substitute came off the sideline to net the decisive goal in a 1-0 win over the visitors.

The home side controlled the play but only secured the deadlock near the end thanks to Clarke's 5th strike of the campaign.

Ryan Mason's side thought they had scored in injury time, but the goal was ruled out for a infringement in the penalty area.

Hayden Matthews turned a second-half mistake to give Mark Robins' team a narrow result.

The home side have now secured just a single fixture since the conclusion of the summer.

The Stoke manager said: “It was among the most important wins we’ve secured this campaign.”
