BRIGHTON demolished ten-man Coventry 5-0 as Frank Lampard’s men lost their fourth straight game without scoring.

The Seagulls took the lead through Charalampos Kostoulas just before half time before Malick Yalcouye made it 2-0 shortly after the break.

Coventry striker Taiwo Awoniyi was sent off just minutes later to give the Sky Blues an uphill task.

The newly-promoted side then conceded a penalty after Bobby Thomas’ foul on Kostoulas and Pascal Gross stroked it home.

Lewis Dunk then scored a goal of the season contender from range and Yasin Ayari also struck from distance to wrap up a thumping victory.
