Coventry march on
Posted Sunday, February 16, 2020 by PA
Coventry moved into the League One automatic-promotion places with a 2-0 victory at relegation-doomed Southend.
The Sky Blues were denied by the woodwork on three occasions at a blustery Roots Hall but made sure of the win with goals from substitutes Callum O’Hare and Maxime Biamou.
Mark Robins’ side came close to opening the scoring in the 28th minute when Jordan Shipley struck the outside of the left post.
Liam Walsh then curled a 25-yard free-kick against the crossbar before City broke the deadlock on the hour mark when O’Hare ran from deep before sending a low effort into the bottom right-hand corner of the net.
With City remaining on top, Sam McCallum curled a free-kick against the top of the crossbar before the visitors doubled their lead in the 79th minute with Biamou on target.
The Frenchman shrugged off the attentions of Shrimpers defender Miles Mitchell-Nelson before sending a 12-yard shot into the bottom corner to seal a fourth straight league win for City.
