Coventry City Take The Win At Burton

Last updated : 09 September 2015 By CNS At The Pirelli Stadium

Coventry City put in a great performance in front of the Sky TV cameras to win 2-1 on their first competitive visit to Burton Albion. 

Leaving his new signings on the bench, Tony Mowbray's side trailed to an eleventh minute Arron Martin own goal before Marcus Tudgay finished off a neat move to level ten minutes later.

In the 54th minute, there was pandemonium in a packed away end when Arron Martin stabbed the ball and Romain Vincelot got the faintest of touches to send the ball into the net home following a corner and a Murphy cross. Burton appealed for offside but City were 2-1 up in front of a crowd of 4633.
