Albion loan pair Leo Ostigard and Viktor Gyokeres both found the net for Coventry City in their 3-1 victory over Bristol City at St Andrew's on Easter Monday.
 
The opener after nine minutes was Ostigard’s first for the club since he joined on loan for the season, while Gyokeres’ third three minutes from time was his second since making the switch from Swansea City back in January.

The result means Coventry City are now seven points ahead of the relegation zone heading into the final part of the season.
 
Ostigard said, “You can see by my celebration that it meant a lot to me.
 
“We’ve been good at home this season; we had a hard away match before today so it’s always nice to bounce back and get a win.”
 
Elsewhere in the EFL on Easter Monday, Taylor Richards was in the Doncaster Rovers side that lost 2-1 away to Bristol Rovers, while Ryan Longman and AFC Wimbledon were on the end of a narrow 1-0 home defeat to Fleetwood Town in League One.
