Last updated : 19 September 2016 By CNS Sport

Coventry Sphinx were beaten 5-0 in a League Cup tie against Coleshill Town.

In a game where Sphinx did everything but score, Coleshill took the lead through Gio Dainty in the 20th minute following a corner and they had a second goal in the 27th minute when Danny Campbell rounded Scott Dutton.

Before the break, Chris Sterling scored a third and in the 66th minute, Scott Dutton was sent off for a second bookable offence and Greg Webb went in goal. Simeon Cobourne took the spot kick but sent it wide.

Sphinx boss Stuart Dutton made a triple change but his side went four goals down when Dainty tapped home in the 79th minute.

In stoppage time, Coleshill, who fielded former Coventry City youngster Liam Francis, scored a fifth from a Cobourne shot to book their place in the next round.
