Coventry 2 Stoke 1 match highlights: Mark Hughes sacked after being dumped out by League Two side

MARK HUGHES’ 200th game in charge of Stoke City turned out to be his last - after the Potters crashed out of the FA Cup to League Two Coventry City.

Goals from Jordan Willis and a deflected Jack Grimmer winner was enough to send Mark Robins’ Sky Blues through to the fourth round.

But there was nothing to celebrate for Sparky as the beleaguered Stoke boss was again targeted by furious fans after this latest disaster.

Hughes was sacked later in the evening by Stoke.

Jordan Willis headed Coventry in front after 25 minutes when Jack Grimmer headed on Jordan Maguire-Drew’s near-post corner and the centre half powered his back post header beyond Butland.

Although Charlie Adam gave the Potters a brief glimmer of hope when he converted a second half penalty to level the score at 1-1, Coventry refused to buckle.

And it was swiftly wiped out by Coventry’s Grimmer of hope as the Sky Blues’ right-back rifled in his shot from the edge of box, which took a decisive deflection on its way past England ‘keeper Butland.

Despite sending on a flurry of forwards when Hughes pitched Peter Crouch, Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting and Xherdan Shaqiri into the fray, Stoke lacked composure and ideas.

In the end they could have absolutely no complaints about being humbled by a side 53 places below them on the football ladder.
