Callum O'Hare scored his eighth and ninth goals of the season in the victory for CoventryThree goals in seven second-half minutes saw Coventry demolish Sheffield Wednesday and book an FA Cup fifth-round home tie against non-league heroes Maidstone United.
The Owls, without a win in six games in all competitions, had managed to hold the Sky Blues 1-1 in the first half, as Bailey-Tye Cadamarteri's goal cancelled out a lovely second-minute opener by Kasey Palmer.
Mark Robins' team, who themselves had gone three games without a victory, came out firing in the second half as Callum O'Hare scored his eighth and ninth goals of the season inside six minutes.
Wednesday, who also conceded four goals inside 12 minutes at relegation rivals Huddersfield on Saturday, then saw Haji Wright head in a fourth two minutes later.
