The Coventry City manager is ecstatic about the FA Cup victory over Sheffield on Wednesday following the Hillsborough events.
Mark Robins branded Coventry City’s thumping FA Cup victory over Sheffield Wednesday as “very sweet” in the wake of two unpleasant games marred by racist incidents at Hillsborough.
The Sky Blues put the Owls to the sword with a 4-1 demolition job at the CBS Arena to book their place in the fifth round of the competition against non-league Maidstone United on Monday, February 26, when they will be just 90 minutes away from a place in the quarterfinals.

Kasey Palmer, who was the victim of alleged abuse in the league game in South Yorkshire, gave City a third-minute lead, and although Bailey Cadamarteri pulled the visitors level seven minutes later, three goals in the space of eight devastating second-half minutes—two from Callum O’Hare and one from Haji Wright—secured the club’s passage to the next round.
“I’m delighted with it,” said Robins, reflecting on the 4-1 win. “We started off OK, but when you make changes to any team, and obviously there hasn’t been much training in between games, things take a little bit of time to settle down. And once we settled down, I thought we were really good.
