Coventry City 4-1 Newcastle United: Stephen Mfuni receives high Frank Lampard praise after Magpies thrashing

Coventry City manager Frank Lampard could not hide his admiration of Stephen Mfuni after Monday's 4-1 victory over Newcastle United . While the Sky Blues had confidence after the 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest prior to the international break, Newcastle had the chance to move into fourth place in the Premier League table . However, it was Coventry who claimed all three points, with a Jack Rudoni penalty, Sidiki Cherif, Ellis Simms and Mfuni getting on the scoresheet. Despite contributing to a clean sheet at the City Ground, Manchester City loanee Mfuni had been dropped to the substitutes' bench.
