Coventry beat Wolves 3-2 in FA CupChampionship side off to WembleySimms says they want to "go all the way"Getty ImagesWHAT HAPPENED?
The Championship outfit snatched victory from the jaws of defeat thanks to Haji Wright's 100th-minute winner. The Sky Blues had led until the 83rd minute after Simms' controversial 53rd-minute opener, before Rayan Ait Nouri and Hugo Bueno looked to have secured the Premier League side victory at Molineux. But Simms' second in the 97th minute and United States international Wright's strike at the death left Coventry dreaming of repeating their FA Cup triumph of 1987.

Simms told after the game: "A great occasion, the fans have been amazing and we're just delighted. I'm so proud of the lads, we've dug in and even at 2-1 down we never gave up. It's going to be a great occasion at Wembley. We want to go all the way. The next round will be tough against a top Premier League team, but we will give it our all and go in with all guns blazing."
Wright added: "There's a lot of quality in our side and as long as we believe and keep trying, we can take our chances. It's amazing to make it to Wembley and it will be good fun for all of us."

Coventry's win over Gary O'Neil's in-form side keeps alive their dreams of becoming the first team outside the English top-flight to win the FA Cup since 1980. On top of this FA Cup run, the Sky Blues are also chasing promotion to the Premier League – with Mark Robins' side currently four points outside the play-offs.
WHAT NEXT?
Coventry will find out who they face in the semi-finals of the competition on Sunday afternoon. They will then head to Wembley on either April 20 or April 21 for their last-four encounter in a bid to reach the final.
