"After seeing Middlesbrough drop points to Leicester City a day earlier, the Sky Blues took full advantage as quickfire 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."
"But 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, who responded four minutes later when Wright cut inside from the left and fired a shot underneath the grasp of Michael Cooper."
"And 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."
