ShareCoventry City stormed to a 4-1 Premier League win over a porous Newcastle United side at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Monday.Coventry City thrashed Newcastle United 4-1 to make it back-to-back Premier League wins and climb out of the relegation zone.Having got their campaign up and running with a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest before the international break, Frank Lampard's side produced another clinical counter-attacking performance at the Coventry Building Society Arena on Monday.Goals from Jack Rudoni and Sidiki Cherif put them 2-0 up, and though Sven Botman's piledriver gave Newcastle hope of a comeback, substitutes Ellis Simms and Stephen Mfuni struck late on to put the game beyond Matthias Jaissle's side.A lacklustre start saw Newcastle fall behind six minutes in, with Rudoni keeping his cool from the penalty spot after Lukas Hornicek spilled what should have been a routine ball to collect and exacerbated the issue by tripping Cherif.The Magpies soon grew into the encounter, but Coventry were saved by two heroic clearances from Bobby Thomas, one in front of an unguarded net after Jacob Murphy knocked Harvey Barnes' cross back into the danger zone, then another to deny Matias Fernandez-Pardo what seemed a certain goal after he rounded Carl Rushworth.But Coventry continued to carry a threat on the break throughout the first half, with Cherif shooting straight at Hornicek when he could have played in a team-mate, and the hosts doubled their advantage three minutes into the second period.When Newcastle could not fully clear the lines from a long throw, Cherif took a touch near the D, then swivelled and drilled a wonderful finish into the bottom-right corner.Cherif should have had his brace soon afterwards, only to slice badly wide following a botched Botman clearance, but after Joe Willock fired over, the Dutchman thundered a 20-yard shot into the near corner to give Rushworth no chance.Newcastle then started to look menacing again, but when Joelinton conceded possession cheaply on the edge of his own area in the 81st minute, Simms saw his shot deflect off Malick Thiaw and skip past Hornicek.And Coventry would add further gloss to the scoreline through Manchester City loanee Mfuni, who blasted a brilliant effort in off the far post, four minutes from time.There's a new Cherif in townMonday's result lifts Coventry to 14th in the early-season standings, level on points with Manchester United and only two behind Newcastle, and Lampard had his substitutes to thank for killing the contest.Simms had only been on the pitch for three minutes and 15 seconds when he scored to make it 3-1, while Mfuni's impact was also rapid, as he made it 4-1 three minutes and 31 seconds after his introduction.But before then, Cherif had been the star of the show, winning a penalty and scoring with a great finish on the swivel on his first Premier League start.He is the first Coventry player to achieve both feats in a single Premier League game since Lee Carsley against Everton in January 2001, while his goal was the Sky Blues' first from outside the box in the competition since David Thompson stuck in that same month, also against Newcastle.Despite having 10 shots more than their hosts could manage (19 to nine), Newcastle had the same amount of shots on target as Coventry (six) and only narrowly edged the expected goals battle by 1.81 xG to 1.43 – 0.99 of the hosts' tally came from set-pieces, with their long throws causing the Magpies constant issues.No team has conceded more goals in the Premier League this season than Newcastle (13, level with Chelsea and Bournemouth), and they host Aston Villa next time out, while Coventry visit winless Tottenham.Coventry City stormed to a 4-1 Premier League win over a porous
