Swans sparkle in away win at Coventry, everything on the game on the Indy.
Swansea City delivered another three points for the travelling Jack Army at Coventry City this afternoon. The home side believing they were nailed on favourites were shown how to force out a result, and even the weather couldn’t stop the Swans.
The first away win of the season out of three attempts, and Vigouroux in the Swans goal earned the plaudits under some vicious clouds in Warwickshire. The win see’s the Swans into seventh place in the EFL Championship, with early season stresses melting away.
The Swans although starting cautiously, quickly got a foothold on this game. The flanks were the objective and several moves on either side resulted in the opening goal. Liam Cullen found himself in space after a move from the Swans left, and on eight minutes he slotted the ball away scoring the Swans first away goal of the season. As per last week the Swans had an early lead.
It took the home side a good five minutes to gain their composure and in the thirteenth minute Vigouroux in the Swans goal made a fine save from a long distance attempt. It was on target. The resultant corner came to nothing.
A Swans corner came from a lovely run into the box by Ollie Cooper. Taken by Tymon, it whizzed across the penalty area. Nothing came from that either. The Coventry midfield was being disrupted continuously by Cooper and Franco, and the home side found ball retention very difficult. Some would say a poor start from the home side, however it looked like an excellent start for the Swans. The identified weakness in the home sides midfield was being exposed.
A lovely ball from Vigouroux out wide to Tymon did indicate that the Swans needed more bodies in the box when attacking on the break. Another corner saw Ronald dominate the Swans right hand side leading to another set piece. The home crowd were getting very annoyed. The large Swans following were as noisy as ever.
With the Swans waiting to take the corner, Coventry City’s Allen limped off the pitch to be replaced by Torp. Harry Darling came close to increasing the scoreline with a glancing header which bounced the wrong side of Dovin’s post.
On twenty six minutes we saw two crunching but fair tackles by Ben Cabango again disrupting the home sides midfield. Good work by Asante saw a lucky fall of the ball to Wright, he struck his shot well, but the Swans keeper ‘looked’ to have it covered. The Sky Blues seemed intimidated by the Swans passing, it just needed an extra body running into the box. Another strike by Coventry was easily fielded by Vigouroux, but the home side were finding their feet.
However, the first thirty minutes were Swansea City’s for sure.
