FA CUP review:Coventry clinched an FA Cup quarter-final home meeting with Chelsea after Leon Best's second-half goal earned them a deserved replay victory over a radically changed Blackburn side at the Ricoh Arena.

Best — wearing a face mask to protect his fractured cheekbone — headed home a 69th-minute centre from Jordan Henderson to seal the Sky Blues’ place in the last eight for the first time in 11 years.

Chris Coleman’s side were worthy winners against a Blackburn line-up which showed 11 changes from the starting XI against Manchester United in the Barclays Premier League at the weekend.

Best was a constant menace upfront, Michael Doyle and Aron Gunnarsson pulled the strings in midfield, and Henderson was a threat on the right flank.

With the Sky Blues holding down a mid-tale place in the Coca-Cola Championship, Coleman fielded his strongest available side.

And the former Fulham boss will be striving to pull off another cup shock against Chelsea who were knocked out of the competition by Barnsley last season.

Bobby Zamora scored for the second time in three days as Fulham left it late to book a sixth-round meeting with Manchester United at the expense of Swansea.

The Coca-Cola Championship side took a second-half lead through Jason Scotland in the fifth-round replay at Craven Cottage but two goals inside three minutes, through Zamora and Clint Dempsey, ensured the Premier League side progressed.
