Coventry City were unable to avoid defeat against West Midlands rivals Walsall at the weekend, despite Norwich City loanee Jacob Murphy rifling home a thunderbolt.
With his side 2-0 down, Murphy found the back of the net with an absolute rocket to cut the deficit to one goal, but the Sky Blues couldn't find an equaliser and fell to their first defeat of the season.

“It is a disappointed changing room," Murphy told Coventry's official website after the game.
“To go two goals down we had to come out fighting and up our game.
“It's nice to get a goal, it's one of my better ones and there is more to come. But it doesn't matter at all. I think we were good enough for a point as we were much better in the second-half."
