League Two side AFC Wimbledon produced another Carabao Cup shock by scoring two late goals to dump last season’s Championship play-off finalists Coventry out in the first round.
After eight Championship teams were knocked out on Tuesday, there was still room for one more surprise a day later as Ryan McLean’s stoppage-time strike secured a memorable victory for the hosts at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.
Coventry looked on course to make it through to round two when Matt Godden converted a first-half penalty after Joe Lewis brought down Haji Wright, but Omar Bugiel drew AFC Wimbledon level in the 86th minute before McLean’s cool finish produced late drama and prevented a penalty shootout.
