City Through To FA Cup Second Round

Last updated : 16 November 2016 By CNS Sport
Coventry City will face either Cambridge United or Dover Athletic in the FA Cup Second Round after being Morecambe 2-1 in a First Round Replay.
 
City went a goal down in the tenth minute, when Dean Winnard scrambled home from a corner.
 
In the 39th minute, Morecambe had a corner. Lee Burge punched and City broke with the ball coming to Marvin Sordell who thumped a shot past Barry Roche to get the Sky Blues level.
 
Coventry went in front in the 56th minute when Sordell got the ball from a Burge kick upfield and after a one-two, he scored with a neat finish in front of a crowd of 1963 or 2175 depending on whose figures you believe.
 
City had more chances to increase their lead but were in the second round for the first time in three years.
