Watford 1-2 Coventry City: Haji Wright double seals Sky Blues victory

Two goals from Haji Wright maintained Coventry City's Championship play-off hopes as they came from behind to beat Watford at Vicarage Road.

Ryan Porteous put the home side in front after a bright start from the out-of-form hosts.

USA forward Wright scored a penalty just before half-time to level after Victor Torp was fouled, before adding another 18 minutes from time.

The pressure on Watford boss Valerien Ismael increases with Watford suffering a seventh defeat in nine games.

The Hornets started with real purpose, with Giorgi Chakvetadze a real threat and his early cross narrowly evaded Yaser Asprilla, before he drove forward and fed Ismael Kone, but the opportunity went begging.
