Coventry goes five points clear with win over Blades
Coventry City came from a goal down to move five points clear at the top of the Championship with a 2-1 win over Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.
After seeing Middlesbrough drop points to Leicester City a day earlier, the Sky Blues took full advantage as quick-fire goals from Haji Wright and Jack Rudoni sealed the win.
The Blades laid siege to Carl Rushworth's goal in the opening 45 minutes, with Patrick Bamford squandering their best opportunity with a tame effort at the visiting goalkeeper.
Three minutes after the restart, Chris Wilder's men led through Harrison Burrows, who slammed the ball home after being picked out by Gustavo Hamer's clever pass.
However, that seemed to awaken Coventry, which responded four minutes later when Wright cut inside from the left and fired a shot underneath the grasp of Michael Cooper.
The comeback was completed in the 57th minute by Rudoni, who headed Ephron Mason-Clark's cross into the bottom-right corner to send the travelling support into delirium.
Tyrese Campbell thought he had won a penalty but saw his appeals waved away by referee John Busby as Coventry held on for a huge three points in the second-tier title race.
Elsewhere in the Championship, already-relegated Sheffield Wednesday lost 2-0 to Norwich City at Carrow Road to cap a miserable day for the Owls.
A consortium led by James Bord pulled out of a proposed takeover of the club, which will play its football in League One next year after losing to its city rival last weekend.
Millwall moved up to third in the table with a 3-0 win over 10-man Birmingham City, with Femi Azeez's stunning 25th-minute opener sending Alex Neill's side on its way.
