COVENTRY INTO FA CUP SEMIS AS LAST-GASP WRIGHT STRIKE STUNS WOLVES
Coventry City are through to the FA Cup semi-finals after Haji Wright’s last-gasp strike snatched a dramatic 3-2 victory over Wolves.
The Championship side trailed 2-1 from 1-0 up at Molineux, but scored twice in stoppage-time for a remarkable win that sealed their return to Wembley.
Coventry broke through eight minutes into the second half with Liam Kitching nodding Kasey Palmer’s free-kick across the area for Ellis Simms to apply the finishing touch.
But after failing to increase their advantage, the visitors saw the contest turned on its head with two regulation minutes remaining as Rayan Ait-Nouri volleyed in the equaliser, before turning provider for Hugo Bueno to score his first senior goal.
However, Coventry refused to lie down and snatched a dramatic leveller in the seventh minute of added-on time with Bobby Thomas flicking on Wright’s cross for Simms to volley home from close range.
And there was to be a further twist in the dying seconds with Simms setting Callum O’Hare’s cross up for Wright to bend a first-time shot beyond Jose Sa’s helpless dive and send the Sky Blues through to the semi-finals.

GOAL!!! WOLVES 2-2 COVENTRY CITY (SIMMS)
The visitors snatch the most dramatic of equalisers!
Coventry may well have just forced extra-time as Wright's cross is flicked on by Thomas, and the unmarked Simms volleys home from inside the six-yard box.
He wheels away as he sends the away fans into ecstasy.

DOUBLE CHANGE
One of the final throws of the Coventry dice sees Robins make two more changes.
Torp and Tavares are introduced in the hope of forcing extra-time, with Latibeaudiere and Eccles making way.

STOPPAGE TIME
With two goals in the space of five minutes, Wolves have turned this quarter-final on its head.
There is still time for Coventry, though, with nine additional minutes still to be played.
GOAL!!! WOLVES 2-1 COVENTRY CITY (HUGO BUENO)
Wolves have turned it around and may just have won it!
The scorer of the first goal, Ait Nouri is the provider of the second.
Cutting inside from the left, he drives towards the area before neatly feeding Hugo Bueno, who takes a touch before sweeping past Collins.
What a time to score your first senior goal!
Goal
H. Bueno
GOAL!!! WOLVES 1-1 COVENTRY CITY (AIT NOURI)
The hosts equalise with six minutes remaining!
It comes courtesy of arguably their most lively player today.
Latibeaudiere tries to deal with Gomes' centre, but only succeeds in putting the ball on a plate for Ait Nouri, who volleys past Collins.

CHANCE
Bidwell delivers a delicious ball to the near post, where the unmarked Kitching is somehow denied by Sa.
Coventry will hope they are not made to regret missing these chances.
YELLOW CARD
After he is penalised for a foul, Sarabia sarcastically claps in the direction of the referee, who books him for his troubles.
He will miss the FA Cup semi-final should Wolves get there.
Yellow card
P. Sarabia
GOOD HITS
Moments after Simms stings Sa's palms, O'Hare follows suit with the Wolves goalkeeper turning away his fierce strike.
QUE SERA SERA?
Coventry have an FA Cup winner in their ranks in head coach Robins, who was part of the victorious Manchester United side of 1990.
He notably scored the winner against Nottingham Forest in the third round; the goal widely believed to have saved Sir Alex Ferguson's job.
Robins is 10 minutes away from sealing a return to Wembley here.
OFF THE POST
The woodwork denies Ait Nouri!
The left-back is completely unmarked as Doherty heads Sarabia's free-kick delivery across the area, but heads against the post from close range.
CLOSE
It's a cracking attempt from Gomes, whose fierce drive from a tight angle is tipped onto the post by Collins.
That was creeping into the top corner, but for the Coventry's goalkeeper's intervention.
SUBSTITUTION
Wolves made a change, too, with Hugo Bueno coming on in place of Doyle.
SUBSTITUTION
The Sky Blues make their first change of the day.
Palmer is given a well-earned rest as he goes off to be replaced by O'Hare.
CHANCES FOR COVENTRY
Sa is called into action with smart reflex saves to keep out Wright and Eccles.
However, the Wolves goalkeeper then bowls the ball out to Doherty, who is caught in possession on the edge of his own penalty area.
Palmer then looks for the far corner, but his shot is whiskers wide of the target.
JUST OVER
Wolves look for the equaliser and are awarded a free-kick just outside the box.
Doyle steps up and looks for the top corner, though his effort is just too high.
CHANCE
Coventry push for the second goal and Wright feeds the ball into Van Ewijk, who lifts it over at the near post.
