Romain Esse’s strike has Coventry looking at a six-point lead at the top of the Championship, as things stand.

Coventry began brightly but Norwich took over, piling on the pressure and coming closest to breaking the deadlock as Jose Cordoba thumped the base of the post with a powerful low strike from a well-worked corner.

However the effervescent Romain Esse lashed home from an angle after wriggling free in the box to put the Sky Blues ahead and Haji Wright was denied a second by Vlad Kovacevic after a neat Esse flick.

Norwich will need to do what they did on 4 January, 2025, score twice to beat Coventry at Carrow Road. They scored those goals after 91 and 95 minutes last season.

Don’t go anywhere…
