League leaders Coventry City secured another Sky Bet Championship victory, with a 2-1 verdict over Portsmouth, thanks to a Brandon Thomas-Asante double.
The win was Coventry's fifth straight and moved Frank Lampard’s unbeaten side four points clear at the top.
Thomas-Asante’s brace, his seventh and eighth league goals of the season, saw him draw level with team-mate Haji Wright as the division's joint-leading scorer.
Despite a nervy finish caused by Makenzie Kirk’s exquisite stoppage-time lob, goalkeeper Carl Rushworth broke a long-standing club record, surpassing Horace Pearson’s 1934 streak of 608 minutes without conceding before the late breach.
Thomas-Asante’s goals came on the half-hour mark, poking home from close range after a corner, and again in the second half following a strong assist from Ellis Simms.
The result ended Portsmouth's three-game unbeaten run and delighted the 2,186 travelling Coventry fans.
Sheffield United climbed out of the relegation zone for the first time this season after a powerful second-half comeback saw them defeat fellow strugglers Blackburn 3-1.

Substitutes then secured the points, with Harrison Burrows and Tyrese Campbell slotting home to secure back-to-back victories.
Derby piled the pressure on Norwich head coach Liam Manning with a narrow 1-0 victory at Pride Park.
After being completely dominated in a goalless first half, the Rams improved dramatically after the break, with on-loan Crystal Palace midfielder David Ozoh netting his first goal of the season in the 55th minute to secure Derby’s first home win of the campaign.
The defeat sent Norwich into the bottom three.

Millwall continued their resurgence, climbing to third place after a comfortable 2-0 win against a Stoke side boasting the division's meanest defence.
