Robins: 'The goal was deserving of winning any match'

Stoke manager Mark Robins hailed the 'perfection' of Lamine Cisse's late winner against Coventry City in the FA Cup third round.

Robins told BBC Radio Stoke: "We had some good chances and good play, and didn't take them. Then you're almost waiting for a sucker punch, and it almost came in the second half as they hit the post a couple of times.

"The goal was deserving of winning any football match because the technique and the strike were perfect. It was brilliant to see it hit the back of the net.
