Haji Wright was the hero for Coventry City Friday evening, scoring a double as they defeated Oxford United 3-2 on Matchday 2 of the Championship campaign.Scoring their first goal of the 2024-25 season, the U.S. international put Coventry up 1-0 in the first half, timing his far-post run brilliantly, smashing home a header 14 minutes into the match.After trading off goals to eventually see the match level at 2-2 with the final whistle looming, Wright arrived on the scene once more.Seizing a defensive error, the 26-year-old intercepted the ball, rounded the goalkeeper in a 1v1, and slotted it into the net with seconds left, as his jubilant teammates rushed to celebrate.

WATCH THE CLIPS

Coventry got their first three points of the season and are 1-0-1 after falling on opening day to Stoke City, 1-0.Midweek, in the EFL Cup, Wright logged 62 minutes as Coventry defeated Bristol City 1-0 to advance to the next round of the tournament as well.The winger participated in Copa America 2024 with the U.S. men's national team, but failed to earn a start during the competition under Gregg Berhalter. In 2023-24 with Coventry, he scored 19 goals and notched seven assists across all competitions.Now, with two goals already under his belt, Wright could be making his case for more playing time on the national team side. He is continuing to prove himself as one of the best attackers in the Championship.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Coventry and Wright are back in action next Saturday against Bristol City again, this time in Championship play. The U.S. national team returns to action in September during the FIFA international break, facing Canada and New Zealand in a series of friendlies. The roster for those two matches has not been released yet.
