Coventry 1-2 West Ham

West Ham left it late before earning a place in the last eight of the Carling Cup with a goal from Carlton Cole.

Coventry played the match at a fast pace and deservedly took the lead when Jay Tabb stole in at the back post to nod in Isaac Osbourne's flighted pass.

But West Ham were level within three minutes when Marcus Hall deflected Luis Boa Morte's shot into his own net.

And the visitors snatched victory in the third minute of added time when Cole pounced on a Ben Turner mistake.
