Viktor Gyokeres scores stoppage-time penalty as Coventry end West Brom streak

Viktor Gyokeres' stoppage-time penalty halted West Brom’s five-match winning run as the Baggies lost 1-0 at Coventry.

The run, that included four clean sheets, had taken Carlos Coberan’s men from the foot of the Championship to within touching distance of the top half.

But in a game destined for a goalless draw despite numerous chances for either side, Gyokeres twisted and turned his way into the box and was brought down by Erik Pieters.

Coventry’s top scorer dusted himself down to step up and send Alex Palmer the wrong way, securing the Sky Blues’ first victory since the international break.

Earlier, Jonathan Panzo almost netted the winner after he opened the scoring in Saturday’s enthralling 3-3 draw against Swansea, in which the Sky Blues surrendered a three-goal lead.

The on-loan defender rose highest from a Gustavo Hamer corner, but his header rattled the top of the crossbar and went behind.

At the other end, Darnell Furlong saw his close-range header saved well by Ben Wilson from John Swift’s deep free-kick.
