FA CUP hero Sean Geddes won the battle of the mind games in firing Worcester City to their moment of history at Coventry City.

City's on-song forward struck twice at the Ricoh Arena to shoot down the League One Sky Blues and seal a place in the second round.

Geddes drilled his first from the penalty spot, after keeper Lee Burge had been sent off for kicking Daniel Nti, before doubling his side's advantage with a sublime second-half effort.

But the former Manchester United youth-team player admitted replacement keeper Ryan Allsop, who is on loan from Bournemouth, tried to psych him out during the delay before the kick was taken.

He said: "I was so nervous and I knew the keeper who came on - his nickname is Rocky. He said to me: ‘I know where you’re going.’ "But, obviously, he dived to his right and I went down the middle. It was magical, that’s the one word I can say. I loved it."

Geddes' second strike, in front of the 3,000-strong travelling support, was a crisp drive into the bottom corner from the edge of the area, which proved to be the winner despite Reda Johnson's late header.

The Coventry skipper also had a penalty saved by Worcester keeper Nathan Vaughan seconds before half-time.

Geddes, who now has six goals to his name since joining City from Stourbridge in September, added: "I couldn’t have hit it any better. It’s just gone in the back of the net and I’m so happy for the lads.

"It’s fantastic for the team and the lads, getting through to the next round. Some haven’t got that far. I was at Stourbridge and we played Stevenage twice in the second round.

"Words can’t describe it, it's the best moment of my career."

Jubilant centre-half Graham Hutchison felt the Blue and Whites exceeded all expectations and reaped the rewards for their preparations.

City stayed overnight in Coventry on Saturday before travelling to the match on the team coach yesterday.

"To come away with anything would have been great but, looking at the game, we would have been disappointed not to win," he said.

"We went to their patch - they are three league above us and one of the bigger clubs in that league as well - and we played them off the park. They couldn't deal with us and we created more chances."

He continued: "The experience has been good. We did everything professionally. We stayed overnight on Saturday, ate proper food together and went for a walk in the morning.

"That's what it's about when you get to this stage, it's about doing things properly.

"It gave us the best platform to go out there and get the win so maybe we'll be doing it again in the next round."
