  "summary": "Coventry City moved out of the Premier League relegation zone on Monday following a 4-1 victory over Newcastle. According to Yahoo Sports, the win marks Coventry's second successive victory and their first Premier League win in 25 years since returning to the top division this summer. The result moved Frank Lampard's side into 14th place, two points ahead of Newcastle.\n\nJack Rudoni opened the scoring from a penalty after teenager Sidiki Cherif was fouled four minutes into the match. While Yahoo Sports reported that Newcastle controlled most of the first half without threatening the Coventry goal, the home side became clinical in the second period. Cherif scored a low shot from the edge of the box three minutes into the second half to make it 2-0.\n\nSven Botman reduced Newcastle's deficit with a strike in the 70th minute, but Ellis Simms restored a two-goal lead nine minutes later. Stephen Mfuni, an 18-year-old center half on loan from Manchester City, scored his first professional goal in the 86th minute to complete the win. Punch described the performance as a stylish victory.",
