"It was a big game of football and showed why it's one and two in the league. They are a difficult team to play against. In terms of the game plan, we worked on it a lot this week and the lads delivered it so I'm very happy. If we can play like that and deliver like that, we have 14 more to go now."
"Haji Wright proved the difference in the match, scoring a hat-trick to secure a big result in the promotion race. The United States forward had already struck the post before opening the scoring after 21 minutes. Wright doubled the lead 10 minutes after the restart, although Riley McGree pulled a goal back for Middlesbrough to set up a tense finish. Coventry restored control when Matt Targett handled inside the penalty area, allowing Wright to complete his treble from the spot and seal all three points."
Coventry City returned to the top of the Championship with a 3-1 win over Middlesbrough, driven by Haji Wright's hat-trick which took him to 13 goals for the season. Wright struck after 21 minutes, doubled the lead early in the second half, and finished a penalty after Matt Targett's handball to seal the victory. The win was Coventry's first in four matches and moved them one point clear of Middlesbrough, with Millwall six points behind in third. Head coach Frank Lampard praised the performance but warned against complacency and stressed focus ahead of the trip to West Brom.
