On Saturday, the 16th, the EFL Cup saw a sparkling match in which Championship rivals Coventry scored twice in extra time to eliminate Premier League rivals Wolves by a dramatic 3-2 scoreline and advance to the quarterfinals. However, the intensity of the match caused Govanelli captain Mark Robins to lose control of his emotions, and in the midst of his wild celebrations, he shouted at a 13-year-old ball boy, an act that has been widely criticized.
It was a rollercoaster of a game, with Coventry breaking the deadlock first in the 53rd minute with Ellisons, but Wolves equalized in the 83rd minute with Aloysius, and then in the 88th minute, Hiu Kopanu thought they had sealed the win. However, the tide turned in stoppage time as Ellisons equalized for the visitors in the 97th minute, and then in the 100th minute, Sharjee Wooley scored to make it 3-2 and return to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup for the first time since 1987.
After Sharji Hooley's goal, Mark Robins turned around in excitement and shouted angrily at the 13-year-old ball boy, an act for which he apologized after the game and said the ball boy had provoked him. Wolves captain Garry O'Neill commented on the incident, "That's just a little kid doing his job, how can that make you so upset ...... celebrating in front of a kid like that, it's disgusting, what's going on here?"
