Coventry City forward Romain Esse said scoring his first goal for the club in Tuesday's win over former club Millwall "felt amazing". Esse, who is on loan with the Championship leaders from Premier League side Crystal Palace, put Frank Lampard's side ahead after 11 minutes against the Lions at the CBS Arena. Although the visitors equalised before half-time, Haji Wright's 10th league goal of the season kept Coventry eight points clear of Ipswich at the top and nine ahead of Middlesbrough in third. I'm happy to get my first goal for the Sky Blues," Esse told BBC CWR. He said scoring against the Lions felt "strange" given his formative years at The Den.
