Coventry City 3-3 Swansea City: Sky Blues stunned by Swans comeback

Liam Cullen guides in just his second goal of the season to complete Swansea's comeback

Swansea City fought back from 3-0 down to claim a point in a remarkable game at Coventry City.

Jonathan Panzo headed in a first senior goal before second-half strikes from Jamie Allen and Viktor Gyokeres put Coventry in total control.

But Joel Piroe swept in before Jay Fulton lashed home the Welsh club's second.

Russell Martin's team completed a memorable comeback when Liam Cullen tapped in six minutes from time.

The draw means Swansea's winless run stretches to seven matches, although this will feel like a victory given that the game looked over after Gyokeres struck.

Swansea climb to 10th in the Championship, while Coventry move up only one place, to 14th, having let two points slip from their grasp.

This fixture began a run of five in six at the CBS Arena for Coventry, who are still calling the place home after a rental agreement was reached with the stadium's new owners this week.

It has been a happy hunting ground in recent times for Mark Robins' team and, for all Swansea's possession, it was Coventry who looked the more menacing side from the outset.

Callum O'Hare volleyed their first big opportunity wide, before Gyokeres - a thorn in the side for his former club throughout - burst clear only to be denied by Steven Benda's save.

With Swansea wobbling, it was no surprise when they fell behind.

Panzo's movement was enough to take away from his marker, giving the on-loan Nottingham Forest defender space to head Gustavo Hamer's corner beyond a flat-footed Benda for his first senior goal.

Benda was soon in action again, beating Jack Burroughs' effort away at the near post and then breathing a sigh of relief as Gyokeres drove forward once more only to hit the side netting.

Swansea threats were sporadic, with Ben Cabango heading over before Piroe's shot was comfortably saved by Ben Wilson.

The visitors needed a response in the second half - but, initially at least, got the opposite.

Coventry doubled their advantage when Hamer picked off Joel Latibeaudiere's loose ball and found Gyokeres, whose lay-off allowed Allen to steer home from 20 yards.

There was more lacklustre defending as Coventry strolled in for their third, with Gyokeres stepping inside a couple of challenges before rolling a shot in off the base of the post.

Piroe registered a first open-play goal since mid-September as he swept Ryan Manning's cross into the net from close range, but still there appeared little hope of Swansea denying Coventry what would have been a fifth win in six matches.

The mood shifted when Fulton hooked in on the rebound after Wilson saved from Armstrong Oko-Flex.

Matt Grimes' cross was then headed onto the post by Piroe, with Cullen steering the rebound into the empty net just two minutes after coming off the bench.

Coventry, who had conceded only six home league goals all season before this, had been breached three times in 16 minutes.

They, like Swansea, are left with a point from two games since the Championship resumed last weekend.

Coventry manager Mark Robins:

"We had the game in a position where we should be putting it to bed, and it should've been game over and we ended up playing it like we were behind in the game.

"To try to win the game, we had to be calm and take the sting out of it and go on and continue to do things we've been doing, but we didn't, we gave the ball away and turned it over, which is the worst thing we can do against Swansea.

"We could have won it but it was a ridiculous game of football. It's easy to be angry, but that isn't the right emotion in my opinion, we have to learn and there's a lot of learning to do again.

"We won nothing against Swansea last year and we've got a point today, but it's the fact we were 3-0 up and the game was dead."

Swansea City head coach Russell Martin:

"The subs who came on were outstanding. In the last half hour the willingness to run, the reaction to tough moments, the willingness to fight, was the polar opposite to the first hour.

"In the first hour we played some brilliant football but there is no point doing that if we are going to show the lack of energy, the lack of conviction, the lack of reaction to losing the ball, the lack of runs into the box [which we did] - it's nowhere near good enough.

"I am really disappointed by that. The guys who came in showed every bit of that, the willingness to run and to press.

"We have conceded rubbish goals today. I didn't like the reaction to the second and third goals we conceded - throwing their arms up at each other, the body language.

"I have told them - that's never going to be us. Be a good team-mate in every situation. I am really proud of the last half an hour but I am really hurt by the first 60 minutes."
