Another Coventry attacker added a 3-0 advantage just before half-time, while James Abankwah was shown a red card before the half.
Watford Manage a Second-Half Goal
Imran Louza netted a penalty for the away side, but it turned out to be nothing more than a consolation strike.

Lampard said: “That was a difficult fixture today because the opposition are a strong side.”
Ipswich Get Back to Winning Form
The substitute was introduced from the bench to net the only goal in a narrow victory over the visitors.
The home side dominated the play but only secured the tie late thanks to Clarke's fifth strike of the season.
