Frank Lampard delight as nervy draw at Blackburn seals promotion for Coventry

Coventry City are finally back in the big time for the first time in a generation. After 25 years away, a period during which the club changed stadiums, hit financial rock bottom and plummeted to the depths of League Two as recently as 2017-18, manager Frank Lampard has led them to the promised land, with this 1-1 draw sealing a famous promotion.

The Sky Blues struggled to find a way past Blackburn for much of this tense evening and went behind to Ryoya Morishita’s strike, before Bobby Thomas blew the lid off the away end at Ewood Park with a header that will go down in Coventry folklore. The Premier League is calling once again.
