The goal: HAJI WRIGHT CAN’T STOP SCORING FOR COVENTRY CITY 🔥 pic.twitter.com/b087vZlSum— U.S. Soccer Men's National Team (@USMNT) February 28, 2026
2nd top scorer in the league. If he wins the Golden Boot would that make him the first American to be a top scorer in a European league (top 10 league)?
He didn't win the Golden Boot in the 1990-91 season, though he did finish as the 3rd highest scorer in the old First Division while playing for QPR He'd also been Luton's top scorer the season he joined QPR
7th highest scorer. First Division 1990/91 1 Alan Smith Arsenal 22 2 Lee Chapman Leeds United 21 3 Niall Quinn Manchester City 20 = John Fashanu Wimbledon 20 5 Matt Le Tissier Southampton 19 = David Platt Aston Villa 19 7 Roy Wegerle Queens Park Rangers 18 George Robledo of Chile was the first player from outside the British Isles to finish top scorer in 1950-51. The next was Jimmy Floyd Hasselbank in 1996-97.
Our guy scored in 1st half stoppage time for them to go up 2-0 over Bristol City and that's after Coventry went down to 10 men in 43rd minute after their CB Joel Latibeaudiere saw red. ESPN says right footed shot from center of the box to bottom left hand corner. Halftime now. Frustratingly this one isn't on Paramount+
Paramount has aired basically every Coventry match for the last 2-3 months but for some odd reason decided not to pick up todays game... Albion would also have been nice to watch with Dike getting a rare start.

Thoroughly deserved, Haji! 🦅Haji Wright has won February’s @PFA Championship Fans’ Player of the Month. 🏆 pic.twitter.com/bjjoUDLFMv— Coventry City (@Coventry_City) March 10, 2026
I believe that makes Haji Wright the second American to win this award after Josh Sargent became the first at the start of this season.
Latte Lath won it for Middlesbrough in April 2024. He made a big move to Atlanta in early 2025 and has generally been a very expensive mistake for Atlanta.
Wright is on the bench. And we all thought he was playing so well. Coventry (1st) hosting Preston NE (T-12th).
Coventry won 3-0 (I don't know who was at home and I DON'T CARE *sticks tongue out like 4 year old*). Haji didn't get off the bench and was clearly not needed.
I think Lampard has settled on a system that Haji doesn't suit as well as other players do and with them doing well again, Lamps is likely to be there next season. IMO Haji is increasingly likely to be on the move in August..
He was just being rested. He's obviously been Lampard's first choice when healthy. His replacement Simms didn't even score though Lampard did praise his work out there.
Rested him for Saturdays match against Soton which was the more difficult of the two. Even I've been surprised how much Lampard rates Haji over Ellis Simms.
Wright starts! Coventry City (1st, very comfortably again) hosting Southampton (7th, pushing hard, bith with plenty of work left).
