Victor Torp’s superb free-kick helped cap off Coventry City’s Championship title celebrations as they beat Wrexham 3-1.

It was a day of celebration at the Coventry Building Society Arena, as Frank Lampard’s team basked in the glory of promotion and winning the second-tier title.

Wrexham, though, were out to spoil the party and boost their own promotion hopes. A win would have seen them consolidate their place in the play-offs with just one game to play.

Brandon Thomas-Asante tucked in from Ephron Mason-Clark’s teasing cross to get the ball rolling for Coventry in the 19th minute.

However, Oliver Rathbone drilled in at the end of a sweeping Wrexham attack to stem the home team’s celebrations.

George Thomason struck the post before half-time, but Wrexham could not make their momentum count, and in the 80th minute, Torp got his free-kick up and over the wall and beyond Danny Ward.

Kieffer Moore headed over from close range, but Wrexham’s comeback hopes were quashed when Mason-Clark steered home in stoppage time.

Wrexham must now beat Middlesbrough on the final day if they are to finish in the top six, with Hull City on their heels.

Data Debrief: Home comforts

If Coventry are to make the most of their return to the Premier League, then their home form will no doubt be crucial. They certainly have a solid foundation to build on, though.

Lampard’s team have taken 55 points at home this term. Assuming three points for a win, only in 1935-36 (58), 1958-59 (58) and 1966-67 (64) have they accumulated more points on home soil in a league campaign.

Fittingly, some of their best performers this season were on the scoresheet, with Mason-Clark taking his tally of league goals for the season to 10, while only Haji Wright (18) has more goal involvements than Thomas-Asante (17).

Coventry came on strong late on, with Wrexham’s bubble burst, and finished with 1.19 expected goals to the visitors’ 1.06.
