It Was A Definite Pen - McSheffrey

Coventry City midfielder Gary McSheffrey has said that it was a definite penalty that led to the Sky Blues beating Middlesbrough on Saturday.

McSheffrey was brought down by Bates in the 77th minute of the game at the Ricoh Arena on Saturday and the Coventry kid who would have notched his 50th goal for City if he taken the penalty told the CT: "It was a definite pen - I took the handbrake off and got there first.

"I obviously wanted it but Kingy gave me those puppy-dog eyes so I gave him the ball and, fair play, he put it away. It was a big goal for him, you know, and it is more important that the team do well and he got a goal rather than my personal tally.

"To be honest I totally forgot that it would have been my 50th but there is always the next game."
