"Brandon Thomas-Asante scored a first-half double as Coventry City eased to a 5-0 Championship victory away to struggling Sheffield Wednesday that sent them top of the table for a couple of hours at least, on a day when home supporters once again protested against the ownership of Dejphon Chansiri. The visitors got off to a great start when Thomas-Asante produced a close-range finish in the third minute after the Owls defence failed to deal with a corner."
"It proved to be a temporary respite, however, as the visitors scored a third goal in first-half stoppage-time. Matt Grimes swung the ball into the area, it was headed on by Thomas-Asante and Bobby Thomas's far-post header was moving towards the net but Haji Wright got the final touch from close range. It looked to be offside and there were strong protests from the Wednesday players but the referee, Adam Herczeg, dismissed the appeals."
Coventry City overwhelmed Sheffield Wednesday 5-0 in a Championship match, propelled by Brandon Thomas-Asante's first-half double and additional goals after halftime. Home supporters staged protests against owner Dejphon Chansiri and briefly invaded the pitch amid reports of repeated delayed wage payments. Sheffield Wednesday struggled defensively, conceding early and failing to contain Coventry's pressure. A contentious third goal in stoppage time provoked strong appeals and boos toward the match officials. Substitute Ellis Simms and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto added late goals to complete the rout. Coventry briefly rose to the top of the table after the victory.
