Key figures

End of streak for Coventry after 4 consecutive matches without a loss vs Cardiff City in Championship (since 06/10/1965). It's a record streak. The previous one was back on the 03/04/1948 (3 matches)

It's the first time Gareth Whalley scores 1 goal vs Coventry in his professional career

No Cardiff City manager (with more than 30 matches on the bench) before Lennie Lawrence has reached 52% of wins .
