Coventry scored four times in an electrifying 25-minute spell to shock Fulham 4-1 in the Sky Bet Championship.

Fulham shaded a tight first half and took the lead when Kyle McFadzean headed into his own net in the 18th minute.

But the game turned on its head after the break as Coventry launched a stunning comeback.

Viktor Gyokeres equalised after a defensive mix-up in the 47th minute before Matt Godden made it 2-1 from the penalty spot. Ian Maatsen then drilled in a brilliant third and the rout was completed by Gyokeres in the 69th minute as he rolled a shot past Paulo Gazzaniga.

The result lifts Coventry into third in the Championship, level on 22 points with West Brom and Bournemouth, while Fulham slip to fifth.
