Coventry City beat Sheffield United 2-1 at Bramall Lane on Wednesday to remain top of the Championship.

In the 48th minute, Harrison Burrows put the hosts ahead with a firm finish from Gustavo Hamer's pass. Haji Wright levelled from close range (52.), then Jack Rudoni glanced in the winner with a header (57.), both created by Ephron Mason-Clark. Wright is now on 14 league goals, second in the Championship scoring chart.

Michael Cooper kept the Blades in the game with smart stops from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto after the turnaround. At the other end, Carl Rushworth claimed high crosses and held a late effort to protect Coventry City's lead.

The Blades introduced Jairo Riedewald and Tyrese Campbell as they chased an equaliser. Campbell shot over soon after, with Ki-Jana Hoever and Tahith Chong also added late.

Six minutes of added time were played, including a brief stoppage for goalkeeper Carl Rushworth, but Coventry City saw it out with composure.
