Following three games without a win, the Sky Blues reignited their title bid and ended Middlesbrough’s six-match winning run. Middlesbrough put in a rare lacklustre attacking display as they failed to register a shot on target in the first period. It took 40 minutes but the Teesiders finally woke up and started to test Coventry for the first time. Targett whipped a searching ball beyond the back line, but Whittaker could only head it against Jay Dasilva and behind. But those nerves were soon settled as Josh Eccles’ cross hit Targett’s hand and Wright stepped up to seal his hat-trick and the points from the spot.
