Sammy On Favourite Strike

Coventry City midfielder Sammy Clingan has been talking about his goals.

The Northern Ireland international signed from Norwich City in the close season, has scored three times for City this season.

His first was a 28-35 yard free kick at Preston before he fired home from the edge of the area at Watford. The third was his first goal at the Ricoh Arena and saw him score with another free kick against Leicester City.

Speaking to the Sunday Mercury, Clingan said: "It is a bit strange having to pick my favourite goal because it doesn't normally happen. But I have to say the one I got at Preston is the best I have scored in my whole career. I scored a few free kicks for Norwich last season so it is nice to do it here as well.

"If I get the ball within range of the goal I am always confident that if I can get it over the wall then the keeper is going to find it hard to get across his goal because I always try to put a lot of pace on it.

"And thankfully the one against Leicester I managed to get it up over the wall and down again to give us a good lead. It was just unfortunate that we couldn't hold on to it, but they scored when we were down to ten men when I was off the pitch injured."
