Liam Walsh created one goal and scored the other as Coventry came from behind to earn a deserved 2-1 League One win at Bristol Rovers.
The home side took a 23rd-minute lead when a mix-up between Sky Blues defender Kyle McFadzean and goalkeeper Marko Marosi allowed Jonson Clarke-Harris to steal in and net against his old club with a low drive.
Coventry were level in the 38th minute, Walsh's superb defence-splitting pass allowing Jamie Allen space to fire right-footed past Jamal Blackman from inside the box.
A fine move down the right saw the visitors take the lead in first-half stoppage-time.
Fankaty Dabo put Callum O'Hare in behind the Rovers defence and his low cut-back was stroked home by Walsh with his left foot.
Both sides created chances in a feisty encounter, but Coventry had the edge in midfield and turned in an impressive team performance.
Rovers have yet to record a victory under boss Ben Garner and their winless streak was extended to 11 games, while Coventry remain in the play-off positions.
