Bold takeaway: Coventry City continue their surge, widening the gap at the top while West Bromicles stumble toward danger. And this is the part most people miss: the Sky Blues’ win wasn't just a routine result—it reinforced their promotion push with a confident performance at The Hawthorns, signaling trouble for a relegation-threatened Baggies.
Coventry City extended their winning run to two straight matches, strengthening their grip on a promotion spot and pushing West Bromwich Albion deeper into trouble. The league leaders under Frank Lampard dominated from the start, picking up where they left off after Monday’s 3-1 victory over Middlesbrough and brushing aside the Baggies at The Hawthorns.
Ephron Mason-Clark opened the scoring for Coventry with his seventh league goal, finding the net early. Jack Rudoni then doubled the advantage with a superb long-range strike just before halftime.
West Brom, who had not secured a league win since December 29 and are still under the management of interim boss Eric Ramsay in his eight games, sit just a point above the relegation zone. After two goalless draws, Albion had failed to score in four Championship matches and had earned only three points since the new year.
A bright moment for Coventry came when Milan van Ewijk, who signed a new deal at the CBS Arena this week, set up the opener. He won the ball and fed Mason-Clark, who calmly lobbed past Max O’Leary.
Coventry continued to press, with Joel Latibeaudiere hitting the crossbar as part of a reminder that more goals could follow.
The second Coventry goal stemmed from a Coventry turnover: Rudoni had too much space and time 25 yards out, unleashing a left-foot rocket for his first goal in 21 appearances.
West Brom attempted to respond, with chances for Charlie Taylor and Jayson Molumby, though their only shot on target came in the 79th minute through Isaac Price.
In the dying moments, Victor Torp wasted a clear opportunity to make it 3-0, and the match ended with boos from the home crowd, underscoring Albion’s growing frustration and Coventry’s clear ascendancy.
