Coventry climb out of the relegation zone after ending their 25-year wait for a top-flight goal and victory in front of their own fans.

The last time Coventry won at home in the Premier League former Spice Girl Emma Bunton was top of the charts with 'What Took You So Long?'

The title could not be more fitting as the Sky Blues ended their 25-year wait for a top-flight goal and victory in front of their own fans.

Baby Spice's song may not live long in the memory but Coventry's thumping win over Newcastle will stick with the home supporters.

Jack Rudoni's penalty, Sidiki Cherif's first Sky Blues goal and late strikes from Ellis Simms and Stephen Mfuni lifted them out of the relegation zone in style.

Level on points with Manchester United after six games and out of the drop zone following successive wins, Frank Lampard's men have announced themselves in the top flight again.
