After the restart, Coventry turned it around, with Ellis Simms equalising (47.) before Haji Wright's late winner (85.) from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto's assist. The Foxes were forced into 49 clearances, evidence of sustained second half pressure. Coventry remain first and host Millwall next, while the Foxes sit 12th and visit Wrexham next.

Stat of the Match: Carl Rushworth produced five saves, providing a calm last line as Coventry flipped the game.
Three Things We Learned: Coventry attempted 18 shots to the Foxes' 14, reflecting their front foot second half.
