Coventry City's Championship play-off hopes were dealt a blow as two Liam Kitching own goals saw them lose at home to Cardiff City.
This was a remarkable way to end Coventry's three-match winning run and defeat means they stay seventh in the Championship table, having missed the opportunity to close the four-point gap between themselves and sixth-place Norwich, who lost at Leicester earlier on Saturday.Few would have given Erol Bulut's men a hope of winning at Coventry beforehand, but they fought back superbly after falling behind against Mark Robins' play-off chasers.
Set-piece kings Cardiff still posed a threat, though. Nat Phillips fired a warning shot when his header was saved but, from another corner soon afterwards, his nod-down was not cleared properly and, under pressure from Bowler, Kitching smashed the ball into the roof of his own net to bring the visitors level.
Coventry's Van Ewijk missed an almost equally gilt-edged chance when he dragged a left-footed shot wide inside the visitors' penalty area. That was to prove their final genuine chance to drag themselves back into the contest as Cardiff defended strongly to hold on for an impressive win."We didn't do enough in the game. The feeling is that you play the amount of games we have and it's tough for everyone. It throws up some strange results.
