- O’Hare leads Coventry comeback
- Southampton closes gap
- West Brom thrashes Blackburn
Callum O’Hare scored twice as Coventry stunned Championship leaders Leicester with a 3-1 comeback victory on Saturday.
After a controversial penalty kick by Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall late in the first half, the Foxes were on track to win, but Abdul Fatawu’s dismissal left them with ten men in the second half.
Eleven minutes from time, O’Hare equalised, and in the 87th minute, Milan Van Ewijk put the hosts ahead in a dramatic fashion at the Coventry Building Society Arena. The second goal scored by O’Hare in stoppage time capped an extraordinary comeback.
Subsequently, Southampton closed the gap to 10 points with Leicester following a resolute 4-0 triumph over Sheffield Wednesday at St Mary’s. In addition, Leeds maintained the strain among the chasing pack with a 3-0 triumph at Cardiff.
The Yorkshire side’s first-half goals came from Patrick Bamford and Dan James. Georginio Rutter sealed the victory in the closing minutes after Crysencio Summerville missed the post from the penalty spot.
