Why it matters
The result reflects the competitive nature of the Premier League and the impact of young talent on team performance.
COVENTRY, England (AP) — Teenager Sidiki Cherif scored one and made one as Coventry overcame a dishevelled Newcastle 4-1 and earned successive Premier League wins on Monday.
The win was a real boost for Coventry, which had lost its first four games of the season but edged past Nottingham Forest in the final league match before the international break.
The victory also marked its first in the Premier League in 25 years after the Midlands club returned to the top division in the summer.
"It is so hard to win but we played like the team we want to be tonight," coach Frank Lampard said. "A team where you look at them and see spirit and energy. We know we are going to have to suffer a lot in games this season but the work ethic of the boys and the belief mean you get what you deserve."
