League leaders Coventry City made it back-to-back Championship victories as Haji Wright's late strike earned a 2-1 win over Millwall at the CBS Arena. On-loan Crystal Palace winger Romain Esse opened his account for the Sky Blues against his former club before Mihailo Ivanovic's spectacular equaliser, but Wright settled a tight contest to bring up his 10th goal of the season.
The American forward, recalled to the starting line-up after scoring an 85th-minute winner against Leicester in Saturday's M69 derby, once again delivered the decisive moment in the closing stages. Coventry controlled long spells of possession under Frank Lampard, but Alex Neil's Millwall were a constant threat on the counter-attack, ensuring a busy evening for both goalkeepers in an open and absorbing game.
Wright Delivers Another Decisive Late Blow
Having come off the bench to sink Leicester at the weekend, Wright was restored to the starting XI and was central to Coventry's attacking play from the outset. He helped to fashion the opener, led the line with energy and aggression, and repeatedly occupied Millwall's back line before providing the final word on the night.
