COVENTRY — Coventry City stunned Newcastle United with an emphatic 4-1 victory to claim their first Premier League win at home in 25 years. The Sky Blues thrashed the Magpies at home in Coventry to secure their first home win of the season in commanding fashion.

Coventry were relentless as they put four past Newcastle in the 4-1 Premier League triumph. The result marks a landmark moment for the club, who had waited a quarter of a century for a home victory in the top flight, and delivers three vital points early in the campaign.
