  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    U.S. international Haji Wright is sparking Coventry to an early-season excellence as the forward notched two goals in a 7-1 rout over QPR. 

    Both finishes came during counterattacks from the Sky Blues, with Wright clinically scoring both on low crosses in the box. With the win, Frank Lampard's side is now third in the English Championship. It's a resounding start for a team that narrowly missed promotion in the Championship playoffs last season. 

    Wright is now on three goals on the season and has scored in back-to-back games.
