Commentary
We have another Coventry penalty appeal now, as Gboho prods the ball over from the left to strike Armstrong on the arm! However, the VAR has a look, and his arm is deemed close to his body.

GOOOAAALLLL! 1-0! WE HAVE OUR OPENER, AND IT'S FOR COVENTRY! A turning Gboho touches the ball down inside the box after Everton fail to bundle a messy move clear! Pickford comes out, and the Frenchman pokes it past the Toffees' number one for his first goal for the club! It's a great take!
Van Ewijk floats in an enticing ball from the right. However, it's always moving away from Awoniyi. We're still waiting for that final bit of quality.
Armstrong! The midfielder makes a burst into the right channel inside the box and fires back across! It's claimed down low by Rushworth, but we've certainly seen a more lively start to this half than we did in the first!
Another Coventry penalty claim! Awoniyi is sent through by Rudoni, and Mykolenko sends the Nigerian tumbling without getting to the ball! It looks like the VAR is just checking whether the potential foul was actually committed inside the box. The check is over. No penalty.
Coventry kick off as this match restarts.
