Coventry City stunned Newcastle United with an emphatic 4-1 victory as they won their first Premier League game at home in 25 years.
Newcastle goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek hauled down Sidiki Cherif to gift Coventry an early penalty and Jack Rudoni made no mistake with the finish, scoring the club's first goal at home this season to raise the roof at CBS Arena.
It was Coventry's first Premier League goal at their home ground since John Hartson scored in a 1-0 win against Sunderland in April 2001.
The hosts made a lightning-fast start to the second half, too, and teenager Cherif doubled their lead shortly after the restart with a clean finish.
