The Sky Blues started the game incredibly brightly, with full top-flight debutant Sidiki Cherif winning a penalty which was cooly converted by Jack Rudoni . After that point, Newcastle dominated the ball in the first half but passed up plenty of opportunities to draw level, often denied by excellent Coventry defending.
