The biggest wins in Championship history as Coventry hit QPR for seven | OneFootball

Coventry City went goal-crazy on Saturday afternoon after thrashing Queens Park Rangers 7-1 in the Championship.

Frank Lampard’s side underlined their promotion credentials with an emphatic win at the CBS Arena. The Sky Blues were 5-0 up at the half-time break and seven ahead just after the hour. A late Richard Kone response for QPR was little consolation for the visitors, who were well beaten on a harrowing afternoon in the East Midlands.

It was a perfect afternoon for Coventry, who were celebrating their acquisition of the CBS Arena.

Coventry maintain their unbeaten start, but narrowly miss out on a Championship record. The biggest-ever winning margin in the division is 8-0, shared jointly by Wigan Athletic and Bournemouth. The Cherries were the first to achieve the feat in 2014/15, with Marc Pugh scoring a hat-trick for Eddie Howe’s side.

Wigan thrashed Hull City by he same scoreline in 2020, incredibly during a season that saw The Latics relegated. Their beaten opponents, Hull, were the only side to finish beneath them in the table.

Seven different teams have won a Championship fixture 7-0, including Fulham who astonishing recorded that scoreline three times in one season, during their 2021/22 promotion campaign.

Fulham ended the campaign with 106 goals scored, with Aleksandar Mitrovic obliterating the second-tier goal record with 43 goals in just 44 games.
