Coventry City midfielder Jamie Allen says the Sky Blues “tried to put their foot down” following a quick start in their 3-1 victory over Watford on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Allen scored Coventry’s second goal in the opening seven minutes after Brandon Thomas-Asante fired in the first just three minutes into the game at the CBS Arena.<\/p>\n
Tatsuhiro Sakamoto added a third, moments before James Abankwah was sent off for the Hornets.<\/p>\n
The win gives the Sky Blues a three-point gap at the top of the table as second-place Middlesbrough could only draw at home to Wrexham.<\/p>\n
“They had a few chances just before the third goal, Rushy [Carl Rushworth] made some unbelievable saves,” he told BBC Radio CWR.<\/p>\n
“They were good at the counter-attacks so we had to be very wary of that. We grafted to get the three points.<\/p>\n
“We’ve started really well, all we want to do is keep this run going. Our focus is to take each game at a time.”<\/p>\n
