COVENTRY WIN 1-0 ON AGG

FIVE years ago Coventry were playing Luton in League Two.

Next week the rejuvenated clubs will face off for a place in the Premier League and £200m of TV riches.

Gustavo Hamer fired Mark Robins' robust side into the Wembley play-off final a week on Saturday, with the only goal of a two-legged tie.

Robins signed a new four-year deal to stay as manager hours before kick-off, and he has built a tough, well-drilled defensive outfit, with the excellent Viktor Gyokeres leading the line alone and touches of class from Hamer, Jamie Allen and Ben Sheaf.

They will be a handful for Luton, and next season the Premier League will have an unexpected guest.
