Another weekend of EFL Championship action featured the latest productive shifts from Josh Sargent and Haji Wright.
Sargent scored his 14th goal of the season despite Norwich City’s 2-1 road loss to Plymouth Argyle on Saturday. The U.S. men’s national team forward now sits third in the EFL Championship golden boot race.
Ryan Hardie’s first-half brace propelled the hosts into a 2-0 lead.
Sargent trimmed the Canaries deficit one minute into the second half, ripping a left-footed shot into the top of the net.
However, Johannes Hoff Thorup’s squad failed to find an equalizing goal, dropping points against one of the league’s strugglers.
Norwich City sits eight points out of the top-six ahead of a midweek home clash with Sunderland.
Haji Wright stays hot with latest goal
Coventry City also suffered a setback on Saturday, falling 2-1 at home to league-leading Burnley.
Haji Wright scored his 11th league goal of the season in the loss, finishing as one of the Sky Blues’ lone bright spots in the match.
Wright needed just five minutes to break the deadlock, finishing off a rebound in the box into the back of the net.
Jaidon Anthony equalized for the visiting Clarets though in the 16th minute before delivering the go-ahead goal early in the second half.
Frank Lampard’s squad failed to find an equalizing goal, falling out of the top-six with the home defeat.
Wright, who missed parts of the season through injury, looks to have rekindled his form in the attacking third.
Coventry City will remain at home midweek, seeking a bounce back win over Portsmouth.
