Coventry City 2-1 Hull City: Jack Rudoni's strike earns Frank Lampard first home win as Sky Blues boss

Coventry earned their first home win under Frank Lampard after coming from behind to beat bottom side Hull 2-1.

Joao Pedro opened the scoring for the Tigers before half-time but the Sky Blues turned the game around in the second period through goals from Ephron Mason-Clark and Jack Rudoni despite Victor Torp's penalty miss.

The victory made it two wins in four outings since Lampard took charge, while Hull - in the second match of Ruben Selles' reign - were left 13 without a win since 1 October.

Hull's opener came completely against the run of play with one of their only ventures into Coventry territory on the stroke of half-time.

Abu Kamara worked some space to dig out a cross to the back post which Ryan Longman headed against the woodwork, but the rebound fell perfectly for Pedro to cushion in his third goal of the season.

It had been all Coventry until that point as Lampard's men controlled the opening 45 minutes with almost 70 per cent possession.

It was evident to see the changes to the playing style Lampard plans to instil at the CBS Arena, as Coventry's opening chance came through a free-flowing passage of play from back to front which ended with Torp's effort being deflected wide.

Mason-Clark, who started out on the left with Haji Wright still sidelined through injury, fired a cross into the penalty area which was headed over by Norman Bassette.

It was Mason-Clark who then almost set up a goal at the back post for Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, but teammate Rudoni took it off the head of the Japan international at the last second.

Captain Ben Sheaf also came close to opening the scoring when he was on the end of Torp's inviting free-kick, but his looping header was tipped over the crossbar by a sprawling Ivor Pandur in the Hull goal.

It was Torp's delivery that led to Coventry's equaliser seven minutes after the restart when he picked out Mason-Clark at the back post, and the winger bundled home his third goal in four games.

The Sky Blues were given the perfect opportunity to get their noses in front when Bassette was brought down by Charlie Hughes in the area, but Pandur came to Hull's rescue by saving Torp's tame 66th-minute penalty.

Bradley Collins also had to be alert at the other end to push away Longman's curling effort after he twisted and turned to make an angle for a shot.

Hull substitute Mason Burstow was next to force Collins into action as he drove at Jay Dasilva and his outside-of-the-foot effort was heading for the bottom corner before Coventry's keeper tipped it round the post.

Coventry scored what turned out to be the winner in the 72nd minute when Mason-Clark chopped inside and delivered the cross for Rudoni to head home.

Ellis Simms almost put Coventry out of sight but his header was gathered safely by Pandur after coming back off the inside of the post.

The managers

Coventry's Frank Lampard:

"As a young winger, to have the ability to end up scoring goals, I think every goal he [Mason-Clark] has scored for us now has been in and around the six-yard box, close to goal.

"I have worked with a lot of wingers and some of them you have to beg them to get into the six-yard box, and the ball is on the other side and he's ended up in there.

"His general play and his positional play off the ball was great, so there are obviously things we can improve with Ephron but the raw talent was there for everyone to see.

"So I am really, really happy for him. That's three goals in four games since I have been here and a great assist as well. He's a nice, very humble lad as well and hopefully there's more to come.

"We were scratching our heads at half-time, and it was really important to get the message to the players to understand because they would have felt the game.

"So I thought that was a great thing throughout the game, the character to keep doing the right things, which we did, and you feel that if you keep doing them then eventually you will get your breaks. I am happy with the whole 90 minutes."

Hull's Ruben Selles:

"I'm frustrated, I think the frustration is for all of us.

"We came here with one idea, an intention, it didn't quite work in the first 20 minutes.

"A couple of situations they were better than us in those moments, we found our way back into the game, we scored the goal and we talked about it at half-time.

"The early goal in the second half we need to manage better.

"It's always difficult when you take the lead, especially in the position that we are, you feel that you have something to protect, and when you have something to protect you get lower, you start to make some mistakes that you aren't used to making.

"I need to analyse how we can do better in those moments to not give those situations away and that is my responsibility.

"When we came, the team is rock bottom. It's not going to be easy.

"We know exactly the type of job that we have and I think we know exactly how to get out of it, but it's not going to be straight there."
