There were jubilant scenes for Coventry boss Frank Lampard following his side’s dramatic 3-2 win at home to Stoke.
Bobby Thomas scored the winner in the 97th minute as Coventry, who are in fifth place in the Championship, boosted their hopes of promotion to the Premier League.
Lampard has guided Coventry to nine wins in their last ten league games – an achievement that the club last managed in September 1954.
On that occasion Coventry were in the Division 3 south, which is a league below the Championship.
Therefore, Lampard has overseen Coventry’s greatest ever run of form, as reported by talkSPORT.
