Coventry's relentless confrontation with Lampard's former team sees the former Chelsea manager demonstrating a ruthless performance against his long-time rivals
Coventry City Thrash Queens Park Rangers in Dominant 7-1 Victory
Coventry City made a strong statement in the 2025/26 Championship season with a resounding 7-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers. The match, played at the Coventry Building Society Arena, saw a series of goals from Haji Wright, Brandon Thomas-Asante, Jack Rudoni (twice), and Victor Torp (twice).
The win marked Coventry City's first match of the season after a 0-0 draw at home to Hull City. With this victory, the team has now scored 12 goals in three matches, moving them up to third place in the Championship.
Frank Lampard, the manager of Coventry City, equaled his biggest win as a manager with this victory. It's worth noting that Lampard did not train any clubs in the previous season, making this win even more significant.
The match saw a dominant first half performance from Coventry City, with Rudoni scoring twice and Torp once to give the team a commanding 4-0 lead at halftime. The second half saw additional goals from Wright and Thomas-Asante, while Richard Kone scored a late consolation for Queens Park Rangers.
This victory comes after Coventry City's loss in the play-off semi-finals to Sunderland in the 2024/25 season. The team is aiming for promotion redemption in the current season.
Coventry City's next two matches will be against Millwall and Oxford United. The match against Oxford United, scheduled for the end of the month, will be followed by the first international break of the season.
The team's impressive start to the season has raised hopes of a potential promotion, which would see Coventry City return to the Premier League after a 25-year exile at the end of the 2025/26 season.
Six players provided assists during the match, contributing to the free-flowing and entertaining nature of the game. Coventry City's first Championship match of the 2025/26 season was a 5-3 win away to Derby County, setting the tone for their dominant performance against Queens Park Rangers.
