Coventry suffer blow due to brace by Flo
LONDON: Coventry drew 2-2 with Chelsea inthe English Premiership Tuesday night as they proved to be the most vulnerable soccer club here in the moments after scoring as Norwegian Torre Andre Flo twice equalised.Twice Coventry went ahead in second half, through Belgian Cedric Roussel and then Republic of Ireland star Robbie Keane, and on both occasions, Flo equalised within seconds. Coventry coach Gordon Strachan twice choked on his own goal celebrations as Flo darted through to spoil things. Strachan did admit they had done well to earn four points in their last two games against Arsenal and Coventry.

Flo now has five goals from his last three games and his 13-goal total equals last season’s haul.
