Coventry
Reach First FA Cup Semi-Final Since 1987.
Coventry scored twice deep into stoppage time to stun
Wolves 3-2 at Molineux and reach the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time
since they won the competition in 1987.
The Championship side looked to have blown their chance
to reach Wembley when Wolves themselves scored twice in the final seven minutes
of the 90.
However, Ellis Simms’ second goal of the match levelled
in the 97th minute before he teed up Hagi Wright to fire into the corner three
minutes later.
The home side were without all of Gary O’Neil’s preferred
front three of Pedro Neto, Hwang Hee-chan and Matheus Cunha due to injury.
And it was Coventry who created the vast majority of the
chances.
Simms had missed an incredible opportunity in the first
half when he miscued with the goal gaping.
But the former Everton striker has now scored 10 goals in
his last eight games after his controversial opener stood.
Meanwhile, Liverpool hastraveled to Manchester United and
Chelsea host Leicester in the other quarter-final ties on Sunday.
