Clarke put the visitors ahead in the 14th minute when he had the simple task of tapping in from six yards following Stephen Elliott's cross.

United made their second-half pressure pay thanks to David Kitson's header from a corner on 71 minutes.

However, Coventry snatched the win with three minutes left to play as Clarke converted the rebound after Franck Moussa's initial effort had been parried.
