Sheffield United tops Championship with 3-1 win over Coventry

Sheffield United secured a decisive 3-1 victory over Coventry City, propelling them to the top of the Championship, three points ahead of Leeds United. Gustavo Hamer opened the scoring with a stunning free-kick, followed by Tyrese Campbell's goal, marking his tenth of the season. Rhian Brewster sealed the win with a goal in the second half, while Coventry’s Jack Rudoni netted a late consolation. This win extends Sheffield's unbeaten streak to five matches and puts them five points clear of third-placed Burnley in the promotion race. Despite the defeat, Coventry remains in fifth place, with their recent form under Frank Lampard still promising as they had won 10 of their last 12 matches prior to this game. The victory underscores Sheffield's strong push for promotion back to the Premier League after a challenging previous season.
