Coventry City are setting the Championship alight this season. Their latest statement came in the form of a ruthless 5-0 away victory over Sheffield Wednesday, marking their third consecutive win — all by emphatic margins.

The result sends Frank Lampard's men to the top of the table after just nine games, and it’s not just the points tally that’s turning heads — it’s the sheer firepower. Coventry have scored a staggering 27 goals already, 13 more than any other team in the division.

To put that into perspective: no team in Championship history has ever scored this many goals in the opening nine rounds. Lampard’s Coventry are rewriting the record books with each passing week.
