Coventry goes top after another impressive rout
Coventry City moved to the top of the EFL Championship table after it thrashed Sheffield Wednesday 5-0 at Hillsborough.
Brandon Thomas-Asante bagged a brace while Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, Ellis Simms and Haji Wright also got on the scoresheet for Frank Lampard’s side.
Not too long after Thomas-Asante’s early opener, the match was temporarily halted as some Wednesday fans ran on to the pitch to protest against Dejphon Chansiri's ownership of the club.
The players soon returned to the pitch after the interruption, which was applauded by both fans, as Coventry went on to secure a third consecutive league win and continue its unbeaten start to the campaign.
Lampard’s Coventry will spend the international break top of the tree, with Thomas-Asante and Wright taking most of the plaudits for another convincing win.
Thomas-Asante has now scored five goals and provided three assists in nine league games this season, including direct contributions in each of his past three games.
Wright, meanwhile, has found the back of the net eight times in nine appearances, just four shy of his league tally from the whole of last season.
