Maxime Biamou fires Coventry into FA Cup fifth round
Posted Sunday, January 28, 2018 by PA
Maxime Biamou’s second-half winner saw 1987 FA Cup winners Coventry cause a minor upset and progress into the fifth round with a 1-0 win over League One strugglers MK Dons.
Fast becoming one of this season’s memorable FA Cup stories, the Sky Blues saw off Premier League Stoke to make it to this stage and they were backed by almost 8,000 travelling supporters.
Mark Robins’ side started on the front foot and went close after 23 minutes when Biamou’s powerful drive forced Dons keeper Lee Nicholls into a testing save.
Coventry winger Tom Bayliss was next to threaten an opener shortly after half-time when he cut inside onto his right foot but fired agonisingly wide.
The visitors did snatch the winner just after the hour through Biamou’s third goal of the season, and his second in as many games.
Ethan Ebanks-Landell failed to clear his lines for MK and the French forward gleefully poked in from close range to put Coventry into the fifth round for the first time in nine years.
