The Sky Blues started with a shot from Thomas-Asanté in the 16th minute, giving them an early advantage of 1-0. Matters worsened for Birmingham before half-time with defender Jack Robinson being handed a red card, reducing the visitors to 10 men for the second half.

Coventry wasted no time taking advantage of the extra space. Just four minutes into the second half, a calamitous own goal by Osayi-Samuel doubled their lead. From that point on, Birmingham found themselves chasing shadows, with Coventry dictating the tempo and piling on the pressure.

Victor Torp sealed the win in the 78th minute, netting Coventry’s third goal and sparking wild celebrations among home fans. Players ran to the stands to revel in the moment, while the Birmingham squad could only watch on in frustration.

Frank Lampard appears to have brought out a newfound light and energy in the Sky Blues. The acquisition of the Coventry Building Society Arena has boosted spirits, while pre-match fireworks and the continuous energy of fans help create a charged atmosphere in the stadium.

 With this result, Coventry City are sitting in second place in the championship with 13 points. If this form continues, a return to the Premier League in the 26/27 season may be on the cards.

 For Birmingham City, this is their third loss in their last four games, which marks a challenging pattern for manager Chris Davies. This derby loss will only intensify the scrutiny on the club, with them currently sitting at 11th on the table.
