Mark Robins hailed Coventry City's finishing after they reached the FA Cup third round for the first time since 2014.

The League Two Sky Blues – who famously won the Cup in 1987 – ruthlessly exposed the 26-place gap between the teams with their joint biggest Cup winning margin since beating Arlesey 3-0 in the first round in 2012.

Coventry took a 27th-minute lead through Duckens Nazon, who teed up Marc McNulty to lob the second on 40 before Jordan Shipley sealed it two minutes after the break.

Sky Blues boss Robins, a Cup winner with Manchester United in 1990, said: 'Our first meaningful attack ended up in a goal after some really good movement, good play and good passing.

'Their goalkeeper (Grant Smith) made a good save from Marc McNulty's shot and Nazon had a touch before firing into the net.

'Then nerves settled well and truly after McNulty's outstanding goal.

'Clinically that was a really high class goal and that will do his confidence the world of good again and he can keep going.

'There's a lot of pressure on these games because of the banana-skin element of them and you can see teams are having a real go.'

Boreham Wood boss Luke Garrard said: 'We created history at the club. It put a marker down.'
