Another commented: “Anyone else see that score change in the Sunderland-Coventry game on Sky Sports? I thought I was hallucinating.”
A third said: “Guys did Sky Sports just have the scoreline as Sun 1-2 Cov (3-3) and then changed it back to the pre-game score??? Am I bugging??”
While another joked: “Thought I had gone mad, but apparently Sky Sports have spoilers.”
Sunderland had the advantage going into the semi-final second-leg at the Stadium of Light thanks to goals from Wilson Isidor and Eliezer Mayenda.
Jack Rudoni got on the scoresheet for Coventry to keep the Sky Blues in it.
