Carlisle United boss Graham Kavanagh has heaped praise on his team following Tuesday's 2-1 win over Coventry City in League One.

The Cumbrians came from behind at Sixfields Stadium as second-half goals from Liam Noble and substitute Sam Byrne secured them the points.

"I am extremely proud and extremely pleased with the players," Kavanagh is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News. "On the whole, the performance, the energy and the work-rate was excellent and I'm really pleased.

"It was a very organised rigid defensive display and it was a really good all-round performance. Back-to-back victories now will give us confidence."

The win has moved Carlisle six points clear of the relegation zone in the League One table.
