Mark Robins hailed his Coventry City players’ “unbelievable” discipline to get a superb and hard-fought point at high flying Leeds United.

The Sky Blues set out to stifle and stop Daniel Farke’s third placed side who are pushing for a swift return to the Premier League after relegation last May, and the tactics were spot on as they got to half-time without conceding. And although United grabbed the lead just before the hour, Bobby Thomas popped up with an equaliser eight minutes later and City hung on to earn a confidence boosting point at Elland Road.

“The division is very difficult for everybody but the way that we played and the way that we worked and got into the game and stayed in the game was really pleasing, and then started to play some decent stuff as well in really difficult circumstances,” said the Coventry manager after the 1-1 draw.
