Kasey Palmer was taken off after 63 minutes, having been booked



The Owls scored a late equaliser through Djeidi Gassama to earn a replay with their fellow Championship side.

Victor Torp netted a debut goal for the in-form Sky Blues moments before the break at Hillsborough, finding the top corner from distance.

However, the visitors could not hold on as Gassama found the back of the net via a slight deflection in the 84th minute.

Palmer started the match in dominant fashion and nearly gave the visitors the perfect start just two minutes in, but he could not keep his early effort on target.

After Coventry's strong start, Wednesday responded and came an Ike Ugbo boot away from scoring a sensational goal. The Owls forward could not get on the end of Barry Bannan's teasing ball to cap off a wonderful move.

Danish midfielder Torp, who signed for Robins' side earlier this month, opened the scoring with a beautiful finish after picking the ball up from 35 yards out and unleashing a breathtaking shot that proved too good for Owls' goalkeeper Pierce Charles.

Wednesday - second-bottom of the Championship - piled the pressure on in search of an equaliser and they found it through Gassama, who managed to squeeze home a low driven finish inside the near post after being fed by Bannan.

There was still time for Charles to produce a brilliant save to prevent Jamie Allen a late winner, also denying them a third victory of the campaign against the hosts.

Coventry boss Mark Robins told BBC CWR:

"If you can't win, don't lose, bring them back to our place and we will have a right go.

"I thought the game was scrappy, I thought the pitch was difficult again - they make it difficult for you by the way they set up.

"It was a tough game for Victor to come into, but he's got that in his locker - it was a brilliant, brilliant goal, good debut, welcome to Coventry."
