Haji Wright scored the winner for the second time in three days as league leaders Coventry beat Millwall 2-1 at the CBS Arena.

Wright scored an 85th-minute goal against Leicester in the M69 Derby on Saturday and notched his 10th goal of the season as Coventry made it back-to-back victories.

On-loan Crystal Palace winger Romain Esse opened his account for the Sky Blues against former club Millwall before Mihailo Ivanovic scored a brilliant equaliser before the half-hour mark.

Frank Lampard's men extended their lead over third place to nine points as Ipswich leapfrogged Middlesbrough into second in the Sky Bet Championship.

Coventry controlled possession in the opening stages but the Lions always looked a threat on the counter-attack.

Ivanovic broke down the left following a Coventry corner and found himself two-on-one at the other end as he aimed for Thierno Ballo, but his cross evaded the Austrian winger.

From their own corner, Carl Rushworth was forced to make a smart stop low to his left as Tristan Crama flicked Femi Azeez's cross into the path of Macaulay Langstaff, who diverted his effort towards the far corner.
