Burnley 1-2 Coventry

Coventry finished the season on a high with a hard-fought victory over Burnley at Turf Moor.

Malta international Michael Mifsud put the visitors ahead in the 40th minute with a left-footed strike from the left side of the area.

Jay Tabb extended the visitors' lead when he broke into the box to finish Kevin Thornton's through ball.

Burnley piled on the pressure in the second half and Paul McVeigh grabbed a consolation goal with a cool finish.

Burnley manager Steve Cotterill:
"We didn't give it a go from kick-off, that's why we didn't win the game.

"We didn't want it to be an end-of-season game but I am really disappointed as I don't like losing."

Coventry assistant boss Tim Flowers on their first away win under manager Iain Dowie:
"We have been a soft touch away from home, and it was important to get that monkey off our back.

"Too many times this season we have given goals away by mistakes, but credit to the lads, they managed to see off the storm.

"The players have given everything for the shirt - they are an honest bunch, but we do need a bit of quality."
