Coventry City pulled off a stunning upset against Wolverhampton Wanderers, securing a 3-2 victory in the FA Cup and earning a spot in the semi-finals at Wembley.
This victory marked a stark contrast from their previous encounter during the 2013/14 League One season.
Early on, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Milan van Ewijk displayed intent, with Ait-Nouri receiving a yellow card for a foul on van Ewijk, leading to a notable opportunity. Despite Coventry’s positive play and Ellis Simms causing trouble for Wolves’ defense, the hosts couldn’t find the net, with Haji Wright missing a chance.
After the break, Simms broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute, capitalizing on a VAR-checked goal. Wolves fought back, with Ait-Nouri and Hugo Bueno scoring to keep their hopes alive. However, Coventry’s determination paid off as Simms netted his eighth goal in five games, followed by Wright’s sensational strike in the 100th minute, securing Coventry’s place in the FA Cup semi-final for the first time since 1987 and handing Wolves their second defeat in three games.
