Coventry crush Newcastle to climb out of relegation zone

COVENTRY EARNED A slice of Premier League history as they climbed out of the relegation zone with a stylish 4-1 win against Newcastle. Frank Lampard’s side are the first club in 127 years to secure successive English top-flight victories immediately after losing their opening four games without scoring. Jack Rudoni’s penalty early in the first half put Coventry ahead with their first ever Premier League goal at the CBS Arena, which became their home in 2005. Sven Botman got one back for Newcastle, but Ellis Simms and Stephen Mfuni struck late to ensure Coventry jumped from 19th to 14th place.
