Hear'Say, 'Snake' & Tony Blair: A Coventry win 25 years in the making

Coventry City secured their first Premier League victory in 25 years with a 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday. The goal came from Jay Dasilva, who put the Sky Blues ahead in the 34th minute. This win marked a significant milestone for the club, as it took over three decades for them to reach three figures of wins in the top flight.

Former manager Frank Lampard reflected on the team's performance, praising their fight, work ethic, and togetherness.

Despite recent setbacks, including a 5-0 defeat to Brighton earlier in the campaign, Lampard remains confident in his team's resilience and ability to overcome challenges in the new league.
