Coventry boss Frank Lampard was delighted to see Romain Esse score his first Sky Blues goal against his old club Millwall before Haji Wright bagged the winner in the 2-1 win over Alex Neil's Lions.

Coventry increased their lead at the top of the Championship to eight points and Lampard praised on-loan Crystal Palace winger Esse for his attitude.

He told BBC Radio CWR: "He came to see me after Leicester and he wanted a little rundown of the game, which was great. I love that, he's engaging and he wants to score more goals.

"For a modern winger, it's really important because we know he's got talent, a huge talent, one v one, the things he can do for us are different.

"People expect there's a magic potion to get goals and it's ready complicated. But if you're in and around it, you'll get your chances and it was brilliant for him to score. I was really pleased to see him score against his old club and he deserved that.

"Haji also deserves a big shout because the way he played today. His all-round game was more important to me than his two goal involvements because he's strong, he was competing, he was pressing."
