Leeds relieves Coventry’s past to extend the championship’s advantage – Irvine Times

Whites were a class over Frank Lampard’s country, which entered the game on the back of four consecutive victories.

Coventry could only accuse that they were two goals at the break when the expertly taken Piro finale made Ellis Sims pay for his mistake before Bogle received a gift from goalkeeper Oliver Dovin.

Leeds could have more, but for Dovin, who denied Manor Solomon, Piro and Largei Ramazani, as league leaders traveled to six consecutive clean sheet in all competitions and expanded their invincible running to 14 games.

Daniel Fark’s country has made the habit of scoring at the beginning of the last matches, and this time they hit the 17th minute.

Sims played a lazy back deep in his own half and straight to Solomon, who sneaked into a Piro to send his 13th goal to the campaign clinically.

Coventry were the creators of their own fall and could only be watched when United jumped into a 2-0 lead.

Bogel looked as if he had touched the ball too far in Dovin’s grasp after a breakthrough in the area, but the goalkeeper poured him back on the way of the defender, who slipped into the back of the net.

Leeds stuck to more, and Daniel James attached himself to a long ball over the top, but he fired straight to Dovin.

Visitors were in full control, with Coventry trying to play from the back against the fierce Leeds press.

United took where they stayed before the interval. Solomon was a threat to Sky Blues protection and chose James, who could only shoot on the side network.

Coventry thought they had boarded the table, but Illan Meslier descended low and gave a great rescue to deny the Sims title and they were almost punished on the break, but Dovin was on hand to deny the Solomon rocket for 10 seconds later.

The hosts began to get hold of the counter as they pursued their way back to the race – Dovin twice refused Leeds, stopping Stop Low punctured by Solomon and Piroe.

Dovin may have been guilty of the second, but he was in an inspired shape to keep his country in it, spreading to stop ralli with his feet.

Meslier kept his pure leaf intact, leaning Bobby Thomas’s header to the bar, while Wilfried Ganto’s late efforts were off for off -off at the other end.
