Tatsuhiro Sakamoto's shot had given Coventry the lead at just 17 minutes into their game at the Coventry Building Society Arena against Preston North End. But not long after that, Brandan Thomas had chested the ball in after the Preston goalkeeper, Daniel Luversen, had clawed away Ellis Sims' hooked Effort.

Then a penalty in the 2nd half from Jack Grimes made it a perfect night for Frank Lampard's Coventry team, as they ended the night on a high with a midweek 3-0 win at home.

But visitors Preston may be frustrated as the hosts Coventry were awarded a penalty in the 2nd half as Ephron Murphy Clark was sent sprawling under minimal pressure from Pol Valentin. But without that, Preston knew where the 3 points were heading.

Coventry had chances, which meant that they could extend their victory when Josh Eccles blazed wildly over late on when well placed. Preston have just won 1 of their recent 11 Championship games.

Their bright spots were few and far between, barring headers from Whiteman and Milutin Osmajic, which were both saved by Coventry goalkeeper Carl Rushworth.
