Baily Cargill fired his first goal for Coventry in the 12th minute from close range after another set-piece delivery from Cole.

It got even better for the home team in the 16th minute when they took a quick free-kick in midfield and James Maddison dribbled forward before shooting home from the edge of the area.

Coventry made it five in the 68th minute as Adam Armstrong raced onto a pass from Cole and slotted home before Fleck put the ball on a plate for the striker in the 70th minute for him to grab a second.
