Coventry fight back to beat Derby in eight-goal thriller
The visitors, coached by former Derby boss Frank Lampard, were trailing 3-2 late in the second half but scored three times in the space of eight minutes to claim a remarkable victory. The teams traded goals in the first half with Derby twice coming from behind to go in level at the break before skipper Ebou Adams put them in front. But after Brandon Thomas-Asante equalised, Ephron Mason-Clark and Victor Torp finally settled a pulsating match. Coventry's first Championship goal of the season was tinged with good fortune as Jacob Widell Zetterstrom punched Matt Grimes's low free-kick against Bobby Thomas and the ball bounced into the net in the seventh minute. But there was nothing remotely lucky about the equaliser five minutes later. David Ozoh won a free-kick on the left side of the Coventry penalty area and Callum Elder bent his shot at pace into the top right corner. Haji Wright dragged a good chance wide but the forward made no mistake when Coventry won a penalty in the 25th minute. Mason-Clark's run into the box was halted by Dion Sanderson's trip and Wright smashed the spot-kick into the roof of the net. Coventry's pace and movement was causing Derby problems but the home side almost equalised again against the run of play when Ryan Nyambe's 25-yard shot was turned behind by Carl Rushworth. But the home side levelled in first-half added time after Thomas inexplicably handled a cross and Carlton Morris coolly rolled in the penalty. Coventry would have wondered how they were not ahead at the break but five minutes into the second half they were behind. A long throw dropped to Adams who placed a low shot into the bottom corner from 10 yards. But a game of twists and turns changed dramatically again as Coventry scored twice in the space of four minutes. Another long throw in the 72nd minute was headed by Thomas against a post and Thomas-Asante bundled the ball over the line. Derby were caught cold in the 75th minute when Milan Van Ewijk got in on the right and crossed for Mason-Clark to head in at the back post. Four minutes later Coventry had a fifth with Torp given space just inside the area to fire a low shot in off the left post to seal the Sky Blues' first win at Derby in 11 matches.

Dan Ballard's last-gasp extra-time header sends Sunderland to Wembley
The central defender struck in the third minute of stoppage time after the clock had ticked past the 120-minute mark with the aggregate score tied at 2-2 to make it 1-1 on the night and book Regis Le Bris' side a final showdown with Sheffield United on Saturday, May 24. Ephron Mason-Clark's 76th-minute volley dragged Frank Lampard's men level in the tie as the Black Cats' stubborn resistance was finally broken, to the dismay of the locals among a bumper crowd of 46,530 at the Stadium of Light, but redemption arrived in the nick of time. WE'RE GOING TO WEMBLEY!! 😍#TilTheEnd — Sunderland AFC (@SunderlandAFC) May 13, 2025 With the LED boards surrounding the pitch significantly closer than usual to the playing surface – perhaps no coincidence with Milan van Ewijk's long throw among the visitors' armoury – the game kicked off amid thunderous noise on a night when the hosts announced their decision to name the West Stand after 1973 FA Cup-winning goalkeeper Jimmy Montgomery. In a high-tempo opening, Mason-Clark warmed Anthony Patterson's hands with a well-struck 17th-minute effort, but it was opposite number Ben Wilson who had to be at his best to keep out Eliezer Mayenda's skidding attempt after he had turned Matt Grimes superbly and raced in on goal. Tatsuhiro Sakamoto dragged a shot wide from the edge of the area after Grimes' corner had been cleared on the half-hour and Jack Rudoni missed his kick in front of goal after the home defence had failed to deal fully with a Grimes free-kick. Sakamoto skied over from Rudoni's ball back across goal and Rudoni was equally inaccurate from Mason-Clark's knock-down as an increasingly open half drew to a close with the tie as evenly-poised as it was ahead of kick-off. The Sky Blues picked up where they had left off, Sakamoto seeing a 52nd-minute strike from a Grimes corner blocked before Van Ewijk blasted the rebound wide, and although Patrick Roberts scuffed a shot harmlessly off target seven minutes later, Coventry continued to look the more likely scorers. Red and white nerves were jangling on and off the pitch, although they might have been settled had Wilson not got down at his near post to turn away Trai Hume's 67th-minute volley from Luke O'Nien's cross. The Black Cats dropped ever deeper as Coventry continued to probe, and they were made to pay with 14 minutes remaining when Mason-Clark volleyed Van Ewijk's cross in off the foot of a post to level the aggregate scores. Romaine Mundle saw his extra-time shot cleared off the line by fellow substitute Josh Eccles, but as Sunderland made their final push, Ballard crashed a header off the underside of the crossbar from Enzo Le Fee's last-ditch corner to snatch victory and keep alive his side's hopes of ending their eight-year Premier League exile.
