Coventry Stuns Wolves With Late FA Cup Comeback Win

Coventry pulled off a stunning comeback in the FA Cup quarterfinals, scoring twice in stoppage time to secure a 3-2 victory over Wolverhampton. This victory marks Coventry's first semifinal appearance since 1987, the same year they clinched the prestigious title.

United States striker Haji Wright sealed the remarkable turnaround with a goal in the 100th minute, following Ellis Simms' equalizer just moments earlier. Wolves had taken the lead with goals in the 83rd and 88th minutes, seemingly on course for a semifinal spot at Wembley Stadium.

Despite being in eighth place in the Championship, Coventry has defied the odds as the lowest-ranked team to reach the quarterfinals. The club now eagerly anticipates a return to Wembley, where they narrowly missed out on promotion in the Championship playoff final last season.

Manager Mark Robins adds another memorable FA Cup moment to his career, reminiscent of his pivotal goal for Manchester United in the 1989-90 season that is credited with saving Alex Ferguson's managerial tenure at the club.
