Haji's Offside Goal

 The Striker Scored a Controversial Goal in Coventry's Close Battle with Burnley

Haji Wright found himself at the center of controversy when he gave Coventry City an early lead in their Championship clash against Burnley. Just five minutes into the match, Wright demonstrated his predatory instincts by reacting quickly in a chaotic goal-mouth situation.

The sequence began when Milan van Ewijk raced onto a loose ball on the right flank before finding Jack Rudoni in the box. Rudoni's shot was tipped onto the post by Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford, with Ephron Mason-Clark following up. When Mason-Clark's subsequent effort was blocked, Wright showed excellent awareness to swivel and smash home from close range.

However, replays clearly showed that the American striker was in an offside position when he turned the ball over the line. Despite Burnley's protests, the goal controversially stood, giving Coventry an early advantage in this crucial promotion battle.

Wright, who had previously impressed with a hat-trick in Coventry's last home match against Sunderland, continued to threaten and nearly doubled his tally later in the first half when he failed to connect with Jay Dasilva's excellent cross with the goal at his mercy.

Despite Wright's opener, Burnley ultimately turned the match around through Jaidon Anthony's brace, winning 2-1 to move to the top of the Championship table while pushing Coventry out of the playoff positions.
