SKY BLUES SPIRIT SHINES SO BRIGHT

MARK Robins was left breathless by a “scintillating” clash as Coventry City came from behind three times to claim a share of the spoils against Watford.

COVENTRY CITY 3, van Ewijk 41, Hoedt 64(og), Godden 87

WATFORD 3, Rajovic 35, 79, Martins 52

The Hornets opened the scoring through Mileta Rajovic, but his strike was cancelled out by a stunning free-kick from Milan van Ewijk.

A Matheus Martins goal and a second from Rajovic had Watford ahead twice, but an own goal from Wesley Hoedt and a late strike from Matt Godden pegged them back.

Robins said: “We created some brilliant chances, the football was scintillating and the crowd were magnificent and got behind us.

“We’ve come back three times, but we’ve got to be a little bit more confident. Other than that we look at a real threat.

“There were too many decisions that we made that were wrong, but there were so many we made that were right.

“We were good, we were brave and went after the game all the time. We just got things wrong defensively.”
