Coventry Hit Seven As Stadium Celebration Turns Into Rout Against QPR

ยท Match Report

Coventry City marked a landmark afternoon at the Coventry Building Society Arena with a 7-1 demolition of Queens Park Rangers, as Haji Wright, Jack Rudoni and Victor Torp each scored twice and Brandon Thomas-Asante also found the net before Richard Kone claimed a late consolation for the visitors.

The Sky Blues have now scored 12 times across their past two Championship matches, but this emphatic victory carried resonance beyond the scoreline, coming just hours after the club announced they had bought the stadium for the first time since it opened 20 years ago.

For QPR, still searching for a first win under new head coach Julien Stephan, it was an afternoon defined by disastrous defending and repeated errors in possession, ruthlessly punished by a Coventry side that finished clinically almost every time an opportunity appeared.
