On This Day | Cole strikes late at Coventry

Taking a look back at a classic West Ham United moment on this day in history, presented by Heineken...

West Ham United left it late before earning a place in the last eight of the Carling Cup with a 93rd-minute goal from Carlton Cole on this day in 2007.

Roared on by the majority of the 23,968 crowd at the Ricoh Arena, Championship hosts Coventry City were the better side and deservedly took the lead when Jay Tabb stole in at the back post to nod in Isaac Osbourne's flighted pass on 68 minutes.

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

And, with extra-time looming, the Irons snatched victory in the third minute of added time when Cole pounced on a Ben Turner mistake and ran through before slotting past Sky Blues goalkeeper Andy Marshall.
