Coventry secures comfortable win against Blackburn to move further away from relegation zone

In a Championship clash at Blackburn, Coventry managed to secure a 2-0 victory with goals from Ellis Simms and Brandon Thomas-Asante.

Simms broke the deadlock just before half-time with a header, following some impressive saves by Coventry goalkeeper Oliver Dovin.

Thomas-Asante extended the lead in the 48th minute, while Jack Rudoni hit the post in an almost successful attempt for a third goal.

Under Frank Lampard's management, Coventry has seen notable improvement, moving up to 13th in the table from a previous position near the relegation zone.

Blackburn, on the other hand, suffered their second consecutive defeat, remaining in the play-off positions but dropping to sixth place.

Despite the loss, Blackburn had their chances, with Dovin making crucial saves and Coventry showing resilience in defense.

The match also saw a series of substitutions from both sides as they sought to influence the game's outcome.

Ultimately, Coventry held on to their lead, with attempts from Blackburn falling short in the closing stages.
