Coventry boss Mark Robins praised Sunderland as 'easy on the eye' and 'one of the best teams we have played' after the Sky Blues' 2-1 win at the CBS Arena. The Black Cats enjoyed more than 71 percent possession against Coventry but it was not reflected in terms of goals, with Amad's stunning finish in injury-time proving no more than a consolation after Jamie Allen and Viktor Gyokeres had given the hosts a commanding lead.
It was Sunderland's second away defeat in the space of five days, and it completed back-to-back league defeats for only the second time this season, with the Wearsiders dropping one place to ninth in the table and with the gap between themselves and the play-off spots widening from one point to four. But Robins is an admirer of the side that Tony Mowbray has put together, saying: "I thought it was a really tough game and hard-earned three points.
"They are one of the best sides we have played here. They are a physically strong side, young players who are really hungry to do well.
