Oxford United head coach Des Buckingham paid tribute to Coventry City after seeing his League One side hammered 6-2 at the CBS Arena.

The goal-fest started in the eighth minute when Joel Latibeaudiere opened the scoring, the Us equalised a couple of minutes later before the Sky Blues ripped off strikes from Ben Sheaf, Kasey Palmer and Callum O’Hare.

Tyler Goodrham pulled one back for 4-2 but a Matty Gooden brace completed the rout and left Buckingham realistic about the gulf in class between the two teams.

“I think we’ve come to a very good Coventry City side, they’re top of the form table in the Championship and they’re a strong team. They ran away with it in the second half. That’s the quality they have.
