Coventry City manager Aidy Boothroyd was full of praise for Marlon King who scored his fifth goal of the season yesterday as the Sky Blues beat Crystal Palace 2-1 at the Ricoh Arena.

Speaking about King, who was back in the City side after over-coming a bout of flu scored what proved to be the winner in the 79th minute, he told the Press Association:
"Marlon King is a top player.

"He's got a lot of talent but he's also got hunger and desire and does a lot of unselfish work for the team.

"He also has an eye for a goal."
