Thomas secures dramatic late win for Coventry
Coventry City needed a 97th-minute winner from Bobby Thomas to inflict late heartbreak on former boss Mark Robins, winning 3-2 against Stoke City in an EFL Championship thriller.
The Sky Blues have now won five consecutive league games as their revival under manager Frank Lampard continues to gather pace, with the club now sitting fifth on the table.
Victor Torp's first-half double put the hosts 2-0 up, heading in Milan van Ewijk's throw-in before Tatsuhiro Sakamoto set him up to add to his side's advantage soon afterwards.
Coventry felt it should have had a penalty when Stoke goalkeeper Viktor Johansson appeared to take out Ephron Mason-Clark, but its appeals were waved away.
The Potters seemed to have salvaged a point when substitute Sam Gallagher scored twice after the break, but there was to be late drama in the contest.
Thomas lashed in a left-foot drive to secure the points in the final knockings of the contest, making it an unhappy return for Robins at the side he spent two spells with.
