wins to move up to ninth in Championship<\/h1>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Dimitris Goutas opened scoring with bullet header before Matty Godden levelled<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Karlan Grant re-established Cardiff&#8217;s lead and substitute Kion Etete made it 3-1<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Godden grabbed his second for Coventry in stoppage time on Tuesday night<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cardiff recorded consecutive league wins for the first time this season as goals from Dimitrios Goutas, Karlan Grant and Kion Etete were the difference in a dominant 3-2 win over a passive Coventry side in the Welsh capital on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<p>Goutas opened the scoring with a bullet header from six-yards out in the eighth minute after being left unmarked in the box as Coventry&#8217;s set-piece organisation fell apart at the game&#8217;s first corner.<\/p>\n<p>Matty Godden threatened to salvage a draw for the away side with a scrappy equaliser before half-time as Coventry&#8217;s top scorer hauled the visitors level with their first attempt on target in the 35th minute as Cardiff&#8217;s defence was found sleeping at a corner that allowed the striker to rifle in his fifth goal of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Cardiff sought to push on at the start of the second-half with a series of crosses testing Coventry&#8217;s defenders, while Mark Robins watched his attack flitter in and out of progressive but altogether ineffective spells at the other end.<\/p>\n<p>Grant re-established Cardiff&#8217;s lead in the 61st minute after creeping in at the near-post to dispatch Ryan Wintle&#8217;s floated cross with a dinked header that on second showing should have been saved by Coventry goalkeeper Ben Wilson.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
