Unfortunately it was an afternoon that went from bad to worse, with Coventry falling to a 2-1 defeat.

After the final whistle blew, Lampard was then shown a red card by referee James Bell.

It came after the Chelsea legend was seen speaking to the officials after the game had concluded.

Defeat for Coventry means that they remain in sixth position in the table.

However they missed the chance to leapfrog Middlesbrough and move into fifth.

The Teessiders secured a 2-0 victory over Blackburn on Friday night, strengthening their hopes of a play-off finish.

Coventry held onto their position due to West Brom losing 1-0 against Sunderland, ensuring that they keep a two-point advantage over the Baggies.

But with Bristol City still to play, Lampard’s side could find themselves outside of the play-off places by close of play on Saturday.
