Blackburn Rovers head coach John Eustace

2 lessons John Eustace will have learned from Blackburn Rovers’ 3-0 loss to Coventry City

Blackburn Rovers were beaten for the first time in the Championship this season on Tuesday night, losing 3-0 to Coventry City at The CBS Arena.

The hosts took the lead with just ten minutes on the clock, when Jake Bidwell headed in from a free-kick.

They would then double their advantage just after half-time, as Haji Wright took advantage of a defensive mix-up to fire a deflected effort past Aynsley Pears.

With just over five minutes remaining, the Sky Blues then sealed the win when Brandon Thomas-Asante fired home after some more slack defending.

That brought an end to Rovers’ unbeaten start to the league season, although they have still taken 15 points from eight games so far.
