Alebiosu can’t delay Onyeka’s Premier League promotion party
Let the party begin, Frank Onyeka and Coventry City are back in the Premier League after 25 long years.
They needed a point to seal their promotion back to the top-tier and they did so tonight at Blackburn Rovers.
Super Eagles defender Ryan Alebiosu was flying for the Rovers and was even involved in his team’s opening goal soon after the restart.
But Coventry left it late until the 85th minute to salvage the result they needed to rubber stamp their return to the Premier League.
They now have 86 points from 43 matches to sit pretty at the top of the standings.
Onyeka started the game, he was involved in an injury scare early on, before he was booked and later replaced tonight.
Promotion to the Premier League will now confirm the midfielder’s permanent transfer to Coventry City from Brentford.

Ademola Lookman winning and smiling to the bank
Ademola Lookman is winning both on and off the pitch at Atletico Madrid.
On the pitch, he has scored six goals and made four assists since his transfer in January.
On Saturday, he will hope to win his first major piece of silverware when Atleti battle Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey final, while his new club are also in the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League with him firing the tie breaker against Barcelona.
Off the pitch, the Super Eagles star forward is the joint second highest earner at the La Liga club as he earns 240,385 euros a week gross, same as the Argentine Julian Alvarez.
This is about five times what he was on at Atalanta – 47,170 euros.
The highest earner is the veteran goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who takes home 400,577 euros every week.
