This is the moment Coventry City manager Mark Robins shouted in the face of a Wolverhampton ball boy after his side's late FA Cup victory against Wolves.<br/><br/>Coventry produced a comeback for the ages after trailing 2-1 going into stoppage time before scoring twice to secure a stunning 3-2 victory at Molineux.<br/><br/>Haji Wright's winner in the 10th minute of stoppage time prompted wild celebrations as Coventry progressed to the semi-finals of the competition to set up a first Wembley Cup appearance since they won the title in 1987.<br/><br/>Robins had been animated throughout the tie and erupted with passion as Wright's goal settled in the back of the net and bizarrely ran to celebrate in front of a ball boy on the touchlines.<br/><br/>The 54-year-old sprinted out of his technical area and up towards the ball boy who is said to be 13-years-old and was left distressed by the incident.<br/><br/>He later revealed that he had done so because the 'young kid' had dropped the ball and walked away smiling from him earlier in the match. <br/><br/>Robins apologized 'unreservedly' for his conduct afterward but had his behavior labeled as 'disgusting' by Wolves boss Gary O'Neil.<br/><br/>'The young kid had earlier dropped the ball and walked away smiling,' he said after full-time.<br/><br/>'It annoyed me, so I celebrated in front of him.<br/><br/>'I don't show emotion often but that's what the FA Cup does to you,' added Robins.<br/><br/> A furious O'Neil hit out at his managerial counterpart and revealed he later spoke to the Coventry dugout chief about the incident.<br/><br/>‘They are just kids doing a job and the boy is really upset,’ said O’Neil. ‘It was really important for me to speak to Mark about it afterward.<br/><br/>‘To celebrate in a young boy’s face like that I thought was disgusting. It shouldn’t happen. I waited for Mark downstairs and spoke to him because I was respectful at the end, having lost a massive game,' he added.
