Coventry keeper earns last-gasp draw at BlackburnCoventry goalkeeper Ben Wilson scored a dramatic stoppage-time equaliser to earn a point at play-off rivals Blackburn at Ewood Park.
Sam Gallagher steered a superb diving header into the bottom corner from Joe Rankin-Costello's floated cross to give Rovers a deserved half-time lead.
The hosts looked to have withheld late pressure until Wilson bundled Gustavo Hamer's corner over the line in the sixth minute of stoppage-time.
The result did little to cement the play-off hopes of two sides stuttering for form, although a third straight draw in a winless five-match run did move Blackburn into sixth, a point above seventh-placed West Brom.
Coventry have now drawn five - and won one - of their last eight games which leaves them eighth, just a point outside the play-off places and firmly in the hunt, but lacking much momentum.
Yet it could have been worse for the Sky Blues who looked set for a first away defeat since 3 February as Blackburn stoutly repelled a string of late corners until Wilson struck.
Rovers did not create much before the break, but were good value for their interval lead against a disappointing Coventry who failed to muster a first-half attempt on goal.
The Sky Blues did react to Mark Robins' half-time team talk, with Hamer firing a long-range effort inches over and then forcing Ben Pears into a decent stop after a neat one-two with striker Viktor Gyokeres.
But the hosts could have doubled their lead moments later when Gallagher's shot was blocked out to Hedges, whose goal-bound follow-up was deflected wide.
The momentum swung after Gallagher's departure with injury and Robins' decision to bring on an extra striker in Tyler Walker.
Yet the visitors looked to be heading for frustration until the unlikeliest of saviours in the shape of Wilson.
Coventry next host relegation-threatened Reading on Saturday, while Blackburn head to fellow play-off chasers Preston.
Coventry City manager Mark Robins told BBC CWR:
"We started really poorly - the first half was as bad as I've seen. Whether that was [being] fearful, or the circumstances, we've got ourselves in a brilliant position that doesn't come around that often - go and enjoy it, you can't fear it.
"We have to be better, we have to learn from this, but certainly in the second half we were better, we grew into it.
"Aled [Williams, goalkeeping coach] got off the bench and said 'do you want him [Ben Wilson] up for the corner?' and I thought for a split second and just said 'yes' so Ben Wilson gets the credit, Aled gets the credit."
"This is a brilliant challenge now, we've got three games left, can we go and do something? Blackburn have got a game in hand on us so it's against the odds really, but we're in a really strong position."
