- Published
Coventry City bagged themselves an added-time win against Sheffield Wednesday when Owls keeper James Beadle made a costly error to gift striker Ellis Simms a second goal.
The dramatic late winner saw the Sky Blues rise to seventh in the table, within a point of the play-off positions.
After the match, Simms said it was his determination to play to the end that gave his side a maximum three points.
"In football, you've got to play until the final whistle," Simms told BBC Radio Coventry.
"I looked at the time so I knew the game was done basically. I saw the ball in the air so I just thought, 'sprint, the game is done'.
"I chase it down and next minute, the keeper's dropped it and I just slot it home. It was a great feeling."
His brace against the Owls also saw Simms' tally rise to to seven across all competitions, making him Coventry's joint-top scorer this season alongside Haji Wright.
"As of late, I've maybe not scored as many as I would have liked," Simms said.
"It was a nice moment to celebrate with the fans. The whole away end - they filled it out, they travel wherever we go. A great moment for the club."
