Coventry City fans are loving what Kaine Kesler-Hayden posted online after Coventry City's win v Boro | OneFootball

Coventry City fans have reacted to Kaine Kesler-Hayden's post on social media following victory at Middlesbrough

Coventry City extended their lead at the top of the EFL Championship to 10 points on Tuesday night with a 4-2 victory away to Middlesbrough, with two late goals from Liam Kitching and Ellis Simms securing all three points for the Sky Blues and caused limbs in the away end.

For the second time in three games, Coventry City travelled to 2nd place in the Championship and grabbed a late winner, extending their lead at the top of the table to ten points, with Frank Lampard's side threatening to completely run away with the league.

Two early goals from Ellis Simms and Liam Kitching gave Coventry a 2-0 lead, but Morgan Whittaker's strike and an own goal from Bobby Thomas brought the game level before Tommy Conway fired over from close range to squander Boro's golden chance of victory late on.

Kitching and Simms would score late on to give the away side all three points in a 4-2 victory, sending the away end into raptures, and in and amongst those celebrations was Sky Blues full-back Kaine Kesler-Hayden.

Kesler-Hayden appeared to be drowning amongst the celebrations, and his humorous post has, unsurprisingly, been received well by the Coventry fanbase, who are on cloud nine right now.

Following their huge victory on Teesside, both players and fans of Coventry were eager to express their delight with the result via social media.

Kesler-Hayden's post in particular received a lot of love from the Sky Blues faithful, with the right-back right amongst the celebrations following their late victory.

It's true that it looks like Kesler-Hayden is drowning in the image, and Coventry fans may have found a new meme for themselves to use as a result.

It does look like the right-back is almost being assaulted amongst all the action, creating a funny reaction from Sky Blues supporters.

Kesler-Hayden has almost certainly been in more comfortable situations across his career, but you would imagine he would have taken last night's outcome and been involved with the limbs rather than any alternative.

Although we're not even at the halfway mark of the season just yet, it is hard to look past Coventry as the clear favourites for the Championship title at the moment.

If Lampard can keep his side playing the way that they have throughout the entire campaign, Premier League football at the CBS Arena next season looks like a foregone conclusion.

Coventry City look like the runaway contenders for the Championship title this season under Frank Lampard

Coventry's win on Tuesday has put them ten points clear at the top of the table, a significant gap at any stage of the season, and even more so after just 17 games.

Only Wrexham have been able to defeat the Sky Blues so far this season, with Lampard's side looking almost faultless and dauntless against each and every opposition.

This Middlesbrough victory is arguably their most significant yet this season, putting a clear gap between them and the rest of the chasing pack, with both Boro and Stoke City tied on 30 points in 3rd and 2nd place respectively.

It was 2001 when Coventry last played a Premier League match, and should they continue at the rate that they are going at throughout the entire campaign, top flight football will almost certainly be coming back to the city for the first time in 25 years next season.
