FOOTBALL - Coventry United come from two goals down to beat Eynesbury

Coventry Editorial 30th Jan, 2024 Updated: 31st Jan, 2024   0

HARRY Wilson’s late goal earned Coventry United a stunning come-from-behind 3-2 win away at Eynesbury Rovers.

Wilson netted the winner two minutes from time after Dan Cassidy scored a brace to restore parity after Eynesbury took a two-goal lead at the Alfred Hall Memorial Ground.

The result means Coventry sit 11th in the United Counties League Premier Division South table as the Red and Greens beat Eynesbury for the second weekend in succession.

Eynesbury broke the deadlock on nine minutes as Billy Roberts headed home Owen Dixon’s corner at the back post.

And Rovers doubled their lead on 24 minutes when Joe Worboys received Chris Khoo’s pass before somehow finding the net from 18-yards out.

However, Coventry reduced the deficit on five minutes later as Cassidy fired home from the edge of the penalty area.




And United equalised eight minutes after half time when Cassidy scored his second of the game from close range after good work from Joe Blowers.

The Red and Greens completed the comeback on 88 minutes as Wilson scored a stunning goal from 25-yards out to earn a sensational victory.


Coventry are next in action at home to Yaxley on Saturday, February 3 with kick-off at 3pm at Butts Park Arena.
