Andy Carroll's 'Hand of God' proves costly as Coventry 'keeper scores last-gasp equaliser

It was a dramatic night in the Championship, with Coventry City's goalkeeper scoring a controversial 95th-minute equaliser and Andy Carroll being sent off for a 'Hand of God' attempt.

As another rollercoaster season in English football's second tier reaches its climax, chaos ensued across the grounds. Former Premier League striker Carroll firstly made headlines after going from hero to zero in struggling Reading 's surprise 1-1 draw at home to promotion-chasing Luton, eight days on from manager Paul Ince's sacking.

Having been booked in the first half, Carroll started the second period by scoring a vital header to give the Royals a precious lead. Five minutes later, the 34-year-old hit the back of the net again but this time had used his arm, giving referee Tim Robinson no choice but to send Carroll off before Luton's late equaliser through Carlton Morris.
