Coventry City secured the EFL Championship title in commanding fashion with a 5-1 win over Portsmouth, as Frank Onyeka played a key role in a result that confirmed their promotion push in style.
The victory lifted Coventry to 89 points, an uncatchable total at the top of the table, underlining their dominance across the season.
Onyeka, on loan from Brentford, featured for 65 minutes and once again anchored the midfield with energy and discipline, helping control the tempo as Coventry dictated play from start to finish.
The home side made their intent clear early on. Haji Wright and Ephron Mason-Clark both took advantage of defensive lapses to put Coventry in control, while an own goal from Regan Poole extended their lead.
Adrian Segečić pulled one back for Portsmouth, but the response was immediate. Mason-Clark struck again to restore the cushion before Kaine Kesler-Hayden added a fifth goal in stoppage time to complete a comprehensive victory.
Since arriving in January, Onyeka has become a central figure under manager Frank Lampard. His ability to break up opposition play, cover ground and drive transitions has added balance to the side, particularly during the decisive stretch of the campaign.
Coventry’s title success marks a significant milestone in the club’s recent progress, built on consistency, structure and a clear tactical identity. Lampard’s impact has been evident in a team that has combined control with attacking efficiency.
For Onyeka, the achievement highlights his influence and adaptability during the loan spell, while for Coventry, it signals a return to the top tier with momentum firmly on their side as they prepare for life in the Premier League.
