Lampard rewrites 60-year history

On the night of October 25, Frank Lampard continued his brilliant career with Coventry City, going undefeated and leading the Championship after 12 rounds, while also equaling a 60-year-old milestone.

Lampard has made a strong impression since leading Coventry.

In the 3-1 win over Watford at the Ricoh Stadium in the Championship round 12, "The Sky Blues" scored 3 goals in the first half thanks to Brandon Thomas-Asante, Jamie Allen and Tatsuhiro Sakamoto. They reached 34 goals in 12 games, a record that no team has achieved since Wolves in the 1965/66 season in the Second Division.

Lampard and his players could have broken the record if they hadn’t slowed down after the break. However, equalling the 60-year milestone was enough for Coventry to confirm their status as the most watchable team in the league. They currently have 28 points (8 wins, 4 draws), 4 points ahead of second-placed Middlesbrough, and are the only unbeaten team in the Championship this season.

Not only did Coventry attack explosively, they also showed remarkable solidity when they only conceded 9 goals, more than Middlesbrough (8 goals). Goalkeeper Carl Rushworth contributed greatly with a series of important saves, helping the team maintain their previous solid streak.

Speaking after the match, Lampard was pleased but cautious: "I'm delighted. We dominated the game in the first half, but the season is long. If we slip up a little bit, everything can disappear." The 47-year-old also praised the collective spirit when Coventry won despite missing key striker Victor Torp and midfielder Jack Rudoni.

After helping Coventry rise from 17th to the top five last season, Lampard has the chance to take Coventry back to the Premier League after 24 years. And with his current form, that dream is not far away.
