Ellis Simms stresses importance of playing to the final whistle after scoring injury-time winner for Coventry City against Sheffield Wednesday
ELLIS Simms stressed the importance of playing to the final whistle after scoring a last gasp winner for Coventry City at Sheffield Wednesday.
Simms netted an injury-time winner for the Sky Blues at Hillsborough after opening the scoring earlier in the game.
And after chasing down a seemingly lost cause at the death to score City’s winner, Simms stressed the importance of playing until the very end.
Simms broke the deadlock on 16 minutes when he glanced Jack Rudoni’s cross from the right into the bottom left corner from eight-yards out.
And after Joel Latibeaudiere’s own goal drew the home side level, Simms scored the winner two minutes into injury time after Wednesday goalkeeper James Beadle dropped a high ball and the striker finished into an empty net.
The Sky Blues have won six of their last seven league matches and sit one place and one point outside of the play-off places.
And Simms insists City want to continue climbing up the table but must remain grounded if they want to maintain their fine recent form.
Coventry are next in action against Preston North End on Saturday, February 22 with kick-off at 3pm at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
