The moon as striker hits brace

exchange with Korey Smith sent the winger flying, before his pass was perfectly played first-time by Obafemi into the path of Paterson, who netted his first since November.

If Obafemi’s touch had got the better of Coventry for Swansea’s first, it was sheer pace that left defenders trailing for his second. But Sky Blues boss Mark Robins will have been fuming at just how easy it was for the Swans to cut through.

Flynn Downes had the freedom to stroll through midfield before unleashing Obafemi to score before half-time.

Just 100 seconds into the second half and the striker was through again.

Swans skipper Matty Grimes robbed possession and one pass saw Obafemi leave the visitors’ defenders in his wake for his fifth of the season.

Coventry rallied in the second half but a combination of poor finishing and last-ditch defending kept them at bay until Gustavo Hamer netted six minutes from time.

Robins’ team are now four points off the play-offs but the manager was concerned at just how poor that first half was.

He said: “It didn’t look like us at all in the first half. We looked leggy and we just weren’t able to get close to them.

“We didn’t take our chances and just gifted them their goals.

“Our goalkeeper has hardly had a save to make but we’ve found ourselves three goals down.

“So we will have to learn from this.”
