Christopher Samba's dramatic late equaliser kept Blackburn's FA Cup dream alive as Rovers snatched a 2-2 draw with Coventry at Ewood Park.

Samba struck deep in stoppage time to force the ball home after stand-in goalkeeper Andy Marshall had fumbled a shot from substitute Keith Treacy at the end of an entertaining fifth-round tie.

Marshall, who had replaced Keiran Westwood, taken ill in the warm-up, was distraught at the end.
