FRANK LAMPARD endured a difficult return to Pride Park as former club DERBY landed a blow on Coventry's play-off hopes.

Lampard (below) saw the Rams claim a 2-0 win after Matt Clarke (above) headed home a free-kick from Marcus Harness, who volleyed in the second.

COVENTRY remain inside the play-off spots, but WEST BROM moved ahead after earning a 1-1 draw at BURNLEY, whose own promotion chances were dented.

John Swift had fired the Baggies in front with an emphatic free-kick on 20 minutes, only for Zian Flemming (below) to level three minutes later.

Derby's victory added spice to the battle against the drop as LUTON came from behind to beat CARDIFF 2-1 in their relegation six-pointer.
