And last night's was a settling win for Coventry.
double quotation mark A midweek jaunt to Devon always had the makings of a tricky trip for a Coventry team focused on Premier League survival. Such feelings quickly evaporated when Frank Lampard's side raced into a two-goal lead with just four minutes and six seconds on the clock, Taiwo Awoniyi opening his account for his new club before Jack Rudoni doubled Coventry's advantage. But, ultimately, Coventry were made to toil before chalking up a welcome first victory of the season.Plymouth have form for a cup upset and another was brewing when Xavier Amaechi pulled Tom Cleverley's side level nine minutes into the second half. Coventry, to their credit, roused once more, the substitute Ephron Mason-Clark regaining the lead before Victor Torp sealed progress to the Carabao Cup third round from the penalty spot. “You've got to enjoy a win, always,†Lampard said. “A win is a big deal because it's a nice feeling to take back on the bus for four hours.â€
Big wins for Leeds and Brentford last night in the competition.
Preamble
The season has fizzed into life already and the Carabao Cup always offers some fizz at this stage. It's a year to the day on Thursday that Ruben Amorim reached for the tactics board at Grimsby. So what awaits this evening? Tottenham have their weekend wobbles to ride out, while Newcastle hope to build on their weekend promise. Preston v Everton is a fixture dating back to 1888-89, and is rhe David Moyes derby, though not even Moyesthesulah was around back then, and there's a reassuring trans-Pennine feel to Bradford v Burnley.
