Coventry City

City's U21s side have now dispatched Bristol City, Watford and Brentford in consecutive wins - scoring ten goals in the process in their best run of results all season. 

Lee Glover’s side had to come from behind, as the Sky Blues were a goal down inside ten minutes when Jan Holldack slotted beneath Corey Addai to open the scoring for the visitors. 

Thomas almost delivered immediate reply when clever forward play engineered a yard of space on the Brentford 18-yard line, but his shot drifted wide of the post.

Half an hour had passed before the home side were on level terms as Bilal Sayoud surged forward and produced a perfectly weighted cross for an onrushing Kyle Spence. Spence couldn’t fail to connect with the ball and headed home for the equaliser. 

Barely a minute of the second-half had elapsed before Thomas had the Sky Blues in front, latching on to a Stevenson shot and finding the corner of the net. Thomas then turned provider for Stevenson, as the pair combined once again, this time with their roles reversed.

Thomas delivered a searching ball in to the area of in-decision between goalkeeper and defender and Stevenson was the quickest to react as he cooly found the net. 

Seemingly in cruise control, a lapse in concentration allowed Brentford a way back in to the game as a long ball forward found the visitors’ Josh Bohui in space. The winger cut inside and found the bottom corner with a well taken finish to make it 3-2.

The Sky Blues dominance prevailed however, as Sayoud won City a penalty for a trip inside the Brentford area in the 85th minute. Thomas was the taker of the spot-kick and delivered a confident finish to cap a fine performance for the 19-year old - securing a 4-2 win for the young Sky Blues.
