Amadou Bakayoko penalty clinches victory for the Sky Blues

What a difference a win makes!

Amadou Bakayoko's first goal for Coventry City proved to be the difference as the Sky Blues beat Plymouth Argyle 1-0 at the Ricoh Arena.

Bakayoko tucked away a 43rd minute penalty to give the hosts all three points after Jordy Hiwula was fouled by Graham Carey.

Mark Robins' men deserved the victory against Plymouth who were reduced to 10 men just before the hour mark when captain Jamie Ness was sent off.

Before the goal, Coventry's best chance was when Macey denied Tony Andreu at the near post after a clever pass by Abu Ogogo.

Ness was red-carded on 59 minutes.

Having been booked for a first-half foul on Tom Bayliss, he was cautioned again after handling the ball in the middle of the park.

Coventry introduced Derby County loanee Luke Thomas for the closing stages and he looked lively. But it was fellow sub Jordan Shipley who came closest to adding to the scoreline with three late efforts at goal.

Argyle threatened fleetingly, but Coventry coped comfortably enough and on the only occasion the home side's defence was breached Liam O'Brien got down well to stop a shot from former Sky Blues midfielder Ruben Lameiras.

After starting their League One campaign with a home defeat to Scunthorpe United and a draw at AFC Wimbledon, Coventry are finally up and running with a victory.

And the home fans who made up the bulk of the 11,453 crowd went home happy.

Mat Kendrick was in the Ricoh Arena pressbox to bring you all the action, analysis and reaction.
