Coventry City head coach Frank Lampard defended Milan van Ewijk after the full-back’s late error handed Sunderland a first-leg advantage in this Championship play-off.
Van Ewijk’s woeful back pass gifted Sunderland’s second goal to Eliezer Mayenda ahead of Tuesday’s return leg at the Stadium of Light.
“I will speak to Milan,” Lampard said. “But there’s nothing for him to be sorry about – it’s football, and mistakes happen. He has been amazing in every game and has had a fantastic season.”
