"After a slow start, the Sky Blues found their groove as Liam Kitching stung the palms of Lawrence Vigouroux, with the Swansea goalkeeper making a fine stop soon after. Tatsuhiro Sakamoto stood up a cross to the back post for Ellis Simms to head into the ground, but Vigouroux was on hand to claw the ball off the line and away from danger."
"However, Swansea's resolve was broken a minute before half-time when Mason-Clark rifled the ball into the roof of the net following a long throw-in from Milan van Ewijk. Coventry continued to dominate after the break as Mason-Clark saw a header saved by Vigouroux before Liam Cullen fired a huge chance over the crossbar in the 70th minute. Lampard's side were forced to navigate a nervy final few minutes as Swansea pushed to snatch a late equaliser"
"Elsewhere in the second tier, Oxford United began life without Gary Rowett by beating Southampton 2-1, with Stanley Mills netting the winning goal in the 89th minute. Rowett was relieved of his duties earlier this week following a run of one league win in their last nine matches, leaving Oxford 22nd in the standings and two points from safety. But the hosts made a promising start when Tyler Goodrham's stunner put them ahead, only for Taylor Harwood-Bellis' 29th-minute header to level things up shortly after."
Coventry City won 1-0 at home against Swansea City thanks to Ephron Mason-Clark's goal a minute before half-time from a Milan van Ewijk long throw. Coventry surpassed the 50-point mark and extended their lead at the top of the Championship to eight points after Middlesbrough were held to a goalless draw by Blackburn Rovers. Lawrence Vigouroux made several key saves to deny Coventry chances and keep Swansea in the contest. Coventry dominated after the break and held on for their 15th win of the season. Oxford United beat Southampton 2-1 with Stanley Mills scoring a stoppage-time winner after Gary Rowett's departure.
