Travel sickness is not a problem for top man Frank

TABLE-toppers Coventry shrugged off an illness crisis and a half with 10 men to secure a draw with Southampton.

- 

Tatsuhiro Sakamoto and first-choice centre-backs Bobby Thomas and Liam Kitching missed the clash at St Mary's with a flu bug, before Jay Dasilva was sent-off 85 seconds into the second half.

Ephron Mason-Clark gave the Sky Blues a first-half lead but they could not hold out as Nathan Wood-Gordon levelled after the break.

Coventry boss Frank Lampard said: “It was an outstanding performance in both halves. We have a tight training ground and it's pretty normal that it (illness) has been going around the country.
