Story summary

Coventry City stunned Newcastle United with a decisive 4-1 victory in the Premier League on Monday, marking their first home win in the league since 1998. The young player Sidiki Cherif, aged just 17, scored one goal and assisted another as Coventry dominated Newcastle in the second half after a tight first period. Despite Newcastle taking control for most of the first half without scoring, Cherif converted a penalty early on set by Jack Rudoni's challenge. In the second half, Cherif added to his tally with a low shot from outside the box, and although Sven Botman pulled one back for Newcastle, Ellis Simms restored Coventry’s two-goal cushion in the 81st minute. The match ended with another goal by Stephen Mfuni, an 18-year-old loanee from Manchester City. This victory marks a significant turnaround for Coventry, who had previously lost their first four games of the season but now boast back-to-back wins.
