Coventry maintained their push for the Championship play-offs with a 2-1 win over Sunderland at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
Jamie Allen scored the opener after 25 minutes, guiding in his second goal in as many games after a pull-back from Viktor Gyokeres, who slid in a second to cap an excellent performance on his 100th appearance in a Sky Blues shirt.
Manchester United loanee Amad Diallo curled in a beauty to halve the deficit in second-half stoppage time, but it was nothing more than a consolation for Tony Mowbray’s men, who missed out on the chance to jump into the play-off places having extended their run of not winning away at Coventry in the league since April 1985.
The Sky Blues, meanwhile, climb to 10th, two points outside the top six with 13 games remaining.
