Torp was 'man of the day' - Lampard

Coventry City manager Frank Lampard called Victor Torp the "man of the day" after the midfielder scored both his side's goals in their 2-1 victory against Watford.

The Dane tapped in Jack Rudoni's low cross in the 32nd minute lead to give the hosts the lead before accurately lofting in a free-kick into the top-left corner with 15 minutes remaining.

"I told him he'd score today, I just had a feeling," Lampard told BBC Radio CWR.

"He's playing so well and he's technically so good. His all round game is so good at the minute, on and off the ball.

"He's been a pleasure to work with in terms of how he trains, his low maintenance, and I think everyone in the ground when that free kick came, and it was closer, expected it to go in."

Prior to today, Torp had only managed two goals and two assists since moving to the Midlands a year ago but the 25-year-old reminded the Sky Blues faithful that he has the quality to give plenty more in a Coventry shirt.

"He's the man of the day, without a doubt and deservedly so," added former Chelsea and England midfielder Lampard.

Torp's contribution means Coventry move into the top half of the Championship table on 38 points after 29 games, with Lampard's side having won the last three consecutive matches.
