Match Report
Goals from Flynn Downes and Kuryu Matsuki ensured a statement Southampton win at league leaders Coventry City in the Sky Bet Championship.
Marking his 100th appearance for the club Flynn Downes tapped home to give Saints the lead on 48 minutes. Kuryu Matsuki's cross was glanced towards goal by Cyle Larin who could only hit the post, but following in was Downes for his second of the season.
Matsuki added Saints' second with five minutes of normal time to play, connecting with James Bree's corner from close range. Despite Coventry halving the lead from the penalty spot, the visitors held on with some resolute defending for a huge victory in the Midlands.
Tonda Eckert made three changes to the side which earnt a late draw at West Brom, two of those as a result of the injuries suffered by Leo Scienza and Ross Stewart. Cyle Larin netted a late equaliser on Wednesday night and came in for Stewart, with Caspar Jander and Cameron Bragg coming into midfield in place of Shea Charles and Scienza. Coventry made two changes from the team which hit Preston North End for three in midweek, top scorer Haji Wright and Joshua Eccles coming in for Brandon Thomas-Asante and Ellis Simms.
