LONDON, Jan 27, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Frank Lampard's Coventry crashed to a 2-1 defeat at struggling Norwich on Monday as the Championship leaders suffered another away-day disappointment. Romain Esse, on loan from Crystal Palace, fired Coventry in front seven minutes before the break with a well-taken finish after Ruairi McConville blocked Victor Torp's shot. Coventry almost made it 2-0 three minutes later, with Vladan Kovacevic needing to be at his best to palm away a rising drive from Hadji Wright. But Anis Ben Slimane equalised for Norwich, slotting home from Ali Ahmed's pass just 35 seconds after the interval. Ahmed's first goal in English football came from Papa Diallo's pass and Coventry were unable to respond as their winless away run extended to six league matches.
