Coventry cruised into the Carling Cup second round with a comfortable 3-1 victory over Aldershot at the Ricoh Arena on Wednesday night.
Clinton Morrison's first goal for the Sky Blues opened the scoring just after the half-hour mark, only for Marvin Morgan's 25-yard deflected free-kick to draw the League Two side level shortly after.
Chris Coleman's outfit turned on the style after the break and Robbie Simpson converted Daniel Fox's outswinging corner before grabbing his second seven minutes later with a neat finish from 18 yards.
It was Aldershot striker Morgan who had the first shot of the match after just four minutes but his effort was cleared away by defender Scott Dann.
However, the home side soon imposed their authority and both Guillaume Beuzelin and Freddy Eastwood went close.
Shots keeper Nikki Bull was on hand to produce a great stop to keep out Simpson's header midway through the first half, but he could do nothing about Morrison's opener after 31 minutes.
Eastwood found himself in space on the left side of the penalty area and he delivered a perfect cross for the Republic of Ireland striker to tap home from six yards.
But Shots were level just six minutes later when Morgan's 25-yard free-kick took a wicked deflection to wrongfoot keeper Daniel Ireland.
Bull again denied Coventry striker Michael Mifsud with a stunning save before the break to ensure the score remained level at half time.
But the hosts upped the tempo after the restart and Simpson converted from 12 yards to give them the lead they deserved.
The forward was again on target seven minutes later, firing home from 18 yards after good work by the impressive Eastwood.
And Bull had to be on top of his game to again deny Mifsud as the hosts closed the game out for a well-deserved victory.

A second half Robbie Simpson double and a first strike for Clinton Morrison handed the Sky Blues a Carling Cup Second Round berth following their 3-1 first round win over Aldershot Town on Wednesday night.
The sides went in level at 1-1 at half-time but a double from Simpson in the second half put paid to any fears of a long night at the Ricoh.
Coventry endured a less than ideal first half despite rarely being threatened in the first half, Morrison bagging his first goal ina City shirt after half an hour, only for Scott Donnelly's cruelly deflected free kick effort for Shot six minutes later to creep past Coventry's debutant 'keeper Danny Ireland.
The visitors looked lively throughout the first half but apart from a third-minute opportunity when striker John Grant beat the offside trap to unsuccessfully lob Ireland, the away side rarely threatened.
The Sky Blues looked equally lively and looked far more dangerous from distance, Freddy Eastwood twice having efforts turned around the post by Shots 'keeper Nikki Bull.
But it was his cross for Robbie Simpson which almost opened the scoring after 25 minutes, Simpson rising at the far post to head at goal, but Bull equal to it.
Coventry finally got on the scoresheet after half an hour though, Eastwood ghosting in from a flick on by Morrison before cutting back at the goal line for his attacking partner who applied an easy finish.
Morrison got his first goal for the Sky Blues
But Shot were on level terms six minutes later, Donnelly's set-piece effort clipping the top of the City wall and sending Ireland the wrong way.
The Sky Blues came out a much improved side for the second half though, reinstating their lead three minutes before the hour mark when Simpson picked up a bobbled ball in the area from a Danny Fox corner to blast inside Bull's near post.
And it got better for Simpson seven minutes later, Eastwood's crossfield ball finding him just inside the area to fire through traffic and into the far corner, completing a double on the same stage where he scored his first goal for Coventry last season.
Eastwood was desperately unlucky not to be on the scoresheet himself, twice being denied his first Coventry goal by the width of a far post.
But he more than played his part, supplying the passes for two of City's three goals which sees them into the next round of the Carling Cup.
