Burnley triumph 2-1 at Coventry to go topLeeds’s stutter goes on after 1-1 draw at Kenilworth Road
Burnley moved to the top of the Championship after Jaidon Anthony’s double secured a 2-1 victory at Coventry, while Leeds missed the chance to return to the summit after a 1-1 draw at Luton. Sheffield United, the overnight leaders, were playing at Oxford in the 3pm kick-offs.
Haji Wright controversially opened the scoring early on for Coventry before Anthony struck either side of half-time to extend Burnley’s unbeaten league run to 27 matches. Burnley’s victory also handed Coventry back-to-back league defeats for the first time since Frank Lampard took charge of the Sky Blues in late November. The former England midfielder was also sent off after full-time for confronting the referee, James Bell, after the final whistle.
