Coventry City climb to second in League One with win at Burton Albion

Coventry climb to second with Burton win

Coventry City have climbed into second place in the League One table after claiming a 2-1 win away at Burton Albion on Sunday.

The hosts took the lead in the 11th minute when a dangerous cross from Mark Duffy was deflected into the Sky Blues net by Aaron Martin for an own goal.

Tony Mowbray's charges were level just nine minutes later, however, as Joe Murphy's cutback to Marcus Tudgay was emphatically driven home.

The visitors then edged themselves into the lead just before the hour through Romain Vincelot, who got a touch at the back post to prod Murphy's cross into the Brewers net.

The result means that Coventry sit just behind Gillingham in the League One table, while Burton slip to fifth.
