Coventry marked their Sky Bet Championship title win with a 3-1 triumph, leaving Wrexham's play-off aspirations uncertain. The hosts, in a celebratory mood after securing the title, took the lead through Brandon Thomas-Asante's volley. However, Ollie Rathbone quickly equalized for Wrexham. A point would have been beneficial for the visitors, but Victor Torp's powerful free-kick and Ephron Mason-Clark's late finish sealed the win for Coventry.
As the team lifted the trophy, manager Frank Lampard praised the fans, stating, 'The biggest thing is the football club is only as big as the people who support it.' Wrexham now heads into the final round of games with a slim advantage in the play-off race, holding a superior goal difference over Hull. The team faces Middlesbrough, while Hull hosts Norwich and Derby entertains Sheffield United in a tense afternoon. Thousands of Coventry fans displayed 'We Are Back' placards, marking their return to the Premier League after a 25-year absence. The Sky Blues were given a guard of honour by Wrexham, who sought a league double after their earlier victory.
The match saw early shots blocked, with Thomas-Asante eventually breaking the deadlock. Wrexham's lead was short-lived, as Rathbone equalized. Although Coventry dominated possession, Wrexham posed a threat on the counter-attack. The visitors' hopes of a point were dashed when Torp scored, and Mason-Clark added a late goal.
Lampard expressed gratitude to the players, staff, and fans, saying, 'One of the biggest pleasures we get as a group is giving you the joy of this moment. This moment is yours.' Wrexham's Phil Parkinson remained positive, stating, 'We're in the mix, and it's in our hands going into the last week of the season.'
