Westwood saved Ebanks-Blake's penalty in injury time

Coventry goalkeeper Keiren Westwood has said he had a "gut feeling" he would save Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's injury-time penalty on Saturday.

Ebanks-Blake won the spot-kick when he was tripped inside the area by Ben Turner but then saw his shot easily saved by Westwood.

"I don't know why but I was confident and had a gut feeling I would save it," he told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire.

"I managed to save it and it is great to get three points."

Meanwhile Sky Blues manager Chris Coleman said he is backing striker Freddy Eastwood to be a success at the club.

Freddy is different class, he has come here with big expectations Chris Coleman on Freddy Eastwood

Eastwood has only found the net on three occasions since his summer move from Wolves and was dropped to the bench for Saturday's victory over his former club.

But Coleman said: "Freddy is different class, he has come here with big expectations.

"It has not worked like we planned but I believe it is going to come right for him".
