Coventry defeats Middlesbrough 3-1

Haji Wright's hat-trick sent Coventry City back to the top of the Championship with a deserved win over Middlesbrough.

Just seven days after losing their long-held lead to Boro, the Sky Blues regained it at the first opportunity with a display full of energy and effervescence.

USA forward Wright had only managed two goals in his previous 19 games but he chose the ideal night to return to top form.

He had already headed one against the post when he scored midway through the first half before adding a second 10 minutes after the break.

Riley McGree halved the deficit with a fine finish for the Teessiders, before Matt Targett conceded a penalty for handball 17 seconds after play had restarted.

Wright stepped up to put it away and seal a huge victory for Frank Lampard's side as they climbed back into first, one point above their opponents.

It ended a run of six straight wins for Boro, whose miserable record against the Sky Blues now extends to seven losses in a row.
