Coventry returns to the Premier League after hard-fought draw at Blackburn‎

Coventry City clinched a return to the Premier League for the first time since 2001 after drawing at Blackburn Rovers 1-1 in the Championship on Friday. Frank Lampard’s men were second best for much of the game but one point was enough to secure a historic return to the top tier. Blackburn winger Ryōya Morishita put the home side ahead after 54 minutes but Bobby Thomas equalized six minutes from time to the delight of the visiting fans.
