In the Championship, Frank Lampard’s remarkable winning streak with Coventry City ended with a 2-0 defeat against his former club, Derby County. The loss halted Coventry’s impressive run of five consecutive wins and nine victories in their last ten matches — matching a record last achieved in September 1954 when they played in Division 3 South. Despite the setback, Coventry remains in the top six, maintaining their push for the play-offs.
Derby, fighting relegation, secured the crucial win with goals from Matt Clarke and Marcus Harness. This victory marked Derby’s first back-to-back wins in the Championship since September, bringing them just one point away from safety with nine matches left in the season.
Lampard, who took charge of Coventry in November when they were 17th, has overseen 22 matches, winning 12, drawing four, and losing six. His efforts have revived Coventry’s promotion hopes, as he aims to guide them to the play-offs — something he previously achieved with Derby in 2019 before losing the final to Aston Villa.
Despite mixed managerial spells at Chelsea and Everton, Lampard is rebuilding his reputation at Coventry. With the play-offs in sight, he will look to ensure his team bounces back in the coming fixtures.
