Coventry City 1-0 Stoke City: Viktor Gyokeres gives Sky Blues narrow win

Coventry City closed the gap to the Championship play-off places with a deserved win over a below-par Stoke City at the Coventry Building Society Arena.

Viktor Gyokeres hit the winner midway through the second half, looping a 20-yard shot into the bottom corner as the hosts took advantage of sloppy defending from the visitors.

Potters goalkeeper Jack Bonham denied Gyokeres three times in the first half, including a point-blank stop just before the break.

Coventry almost added a second when substitute Martyn Waghorn drove a long-range shot past the post, but they comfortably saw out late Stoke pressure.
