Coventry City secured a comeback victory against Millwall, emerging triumphant with a 2-1 win that propelled them into the Championship play-off positions. Initially trailing due to Romain Esse's 12th-minute deflected goal for Millwall, Coventry rallied back in the second half, spurred on by the performance of United States striker Haji Wright.
Wright, 25, played a pivotal role in the turnaround, first converting a 67th-minute penalty after being fouled by Japhet Tanganga. Shortly after, he secured Coventry's winning goal, capitalizing on a swift counter-attack with a well-placed shot that eluded Millwall keeper Matija Sarkic's attempted save.
The victory marked Coventry's first in three league games, lifting them to the sixth position in the Championship standings. On the other hand, Millwall's struggles continued as they extended their winless streak to five matches, keeping them in 18th place, just four points above the relegation zone.
The match showcased Wright's impact, not only in converting crucial chances but also in spearheading the team's attacking efforts, earning Coventry a vital win in their pursuit of promotion.
