Championship clash temporarily suspended as man flies over stadium ahead of stunning Coventry comeback

Coventry City and Luton Town’s Championship clash on Saturday was temporarily suspended… by a paraglider.

With around ten minutes left to play, a person was spotted flying over the Coventry Building Society Arena with a parachute attached.

Referee Robert Madley paused play between the two sides as the paraglider continued their flight over the lunchtime fixture, with perplexed supporters craning their necks upwards to see what was going on.

Footage on social media shows them travelling very close over the top of one of the stands as they made their way out of the area.

The match eventually got back underway when the glider disappeared from view and appeared not to be circling back – which is their loss, as they missed out on witnessed a dramatic ending that saw Coventry win all three points.

But the second-half was a completely different story with three unanswered goals from the hosts, with the winner coming in the second minute of stoppage-time to secure a stunning win.
