LONDON, April 7, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Coventry moved nearer a return to the Premier League after a goalless draw at promotion rivals Hull on Monday. The result left Coventry 12 points clear at the top of English football's second-tier Championship and within four points of ending their 25-year exile from the elite top flight. A draw meant Hull stayed in fifth place -- one of the play-off spots -- and also remained in contention to finish second with five games left to play. Middlesbrough found themselves in third place, level on points with Ipswich but significantly having played two more games, following a 2-2 draw away to Swansea. But the result kept the Foxes in the bottom three after Jerry Yates' second-minute goal put the Owls ahead.
