Haji Wright’s goal six minutes into stoppage time earned Coventry City their first victory of the season as the Sky Blues left it late to beat Oxford 3-2.

Mark Robins’ men had been a goal to the good twice through Wright and Milan van Ewijk, but were pulled back first by Ciaran Brown and then Mark Harris before the American sealed all three points.

Wright was the star man for the Sky Blues as he opened the scoring after 15 minutes when he powered home a header following Van Ewijk’s inviting cross from the right.

Coventry were searching for their first league win since a 1-0 victory over Leeds on April 6, a run stretching seven games either side of the summer break, while a point would have been Oxford’s first on the road in the second tier since a 0-0 draw at Bradford City in May 1999.
