Coventry manager Mark Robins was left fuming with the decision to send off Liam Kitching, which took some of the shine off his sides 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday. Kitching was shown a red card Christian Pulisic Jersey after the final whistle at the Coventry Building Society Arena after referee Oliver Langford judged him to have retaliated to being pushed by Wednesdays Bambo Diaby, who was also sent off. That controversial incident came after two goals from Tatsuhiro Sakamoto had guided the Sky Blues to their second straight win in the festive period. Robins said: I didnt see what had happened, but Ive seen it back now and Im appealing that. Theres no way he can be sent off for that, no way. The kids come from behind him and its a sault; hes pushed him in his face, so where does he go? He cant go anywhere because hes come into his space, so he (Diaby) has pushed him, hes then stuck his head on his head and Kitch hasnt reacted. Whether hes put his hands up to stop it, I dont know, but its an attack, its ridiculous and then hes come back for seconds, so 100 per cent Im appealing it. Im furious. What happened at the end can sort of detract from a performance that was actually pretty good. Two brilliant goals, well worked and well finished and Tatsus been doing that, hes been growing in confidence, hes taking shots now. It was a slightly scuffed finish with which Sakamoto gave Coventry the lead after 20 minutes when he was picked out by Haji Wrights cut-back. The Japan international sealed the points in the 89th minute with a fine finish past Cameron Dawson, not long before tempers boiled over following the end of the game. Sheffield Wednesday bo s Danny Rohl said: I think it was a fair-play game, there were not bad fouls or anything like this. Its a hard decision, for both a red card after the game, but its the decision from the ref and we cant change it. This is football but its not helpful for us at the moment because weve now got Callum (Paterson) out for the next games and Bambo out for the next games. I tried everything to bring some fresh legs in, but this is what our situation is at the moment, this is Club América Jersey what weve been handed and its about preparing for our next game (at Preston), recovery and then going again. On his sides performance, Rohl added: I think you saw two different halves. First half, Coventry was the better team. We were not clinical in our transition in the first half, but in the second half I think we dominated the game.
