Coventry City, under the management of Mark Robins, achieved a significant victory against Wolves in the FA Cup quarter-final, advancing to the semifinals with a dramatic 100th-minute winner. This win is part of Coventry's remarkable journey from League Two mediocrity to the brink of the Premier League and now an FA Cup semifinal, despite challenges including playing in Northampton and Birmingham, points deductions, and financial difficulties. The match, described as an epic cup tie with comebacks, controversy, and standout performances from Ait-Nouri/Simms, ended in joy for Coventry and heartache for Wolves. However, the victory was marred by Robins' controversial celebration in front of a Wolves ball boy, which led to apologies from Robins and criticism from Wolves manager Gary O'Neil, who labeled the act 'disgusting.'
