Bobby Thomas equalised six minutes from time at Blackburn Rovers to secure Coventry City’s return to the Premier League after 25 years and begin their promotion party.

Thomas wrote his name in Sky Blues history as he headed home in front of the away fans to send them wild at Ewood Park.

The Coventry fans sang the 25-year-old defender’s name and after the club’s journey all the way down to League Two, Frank Lampard has led them back to the top flight.

Thomas’ goal was tough on Blackburn and they deservedly led through Ryoya Morishita before the Championship leaders hit back to earn the point they needed to seal promotion.
