Town recovered from Tyler Walker's early strike to dump out their Championship hosts as Kion Etete capped a fine debut display with two goals. Here are our player ratings from a great night at the Ricoh Arena...
9. Sam Hoskins
A rusty start was inevitable after so long out but he quickly shook that off and came on strong, involved in several well-worked attacks. Finished the game at right-back and it was an immense effort to play the full 90 after his prolonged absence due to COVID... 8
10. Kion Etete
Debuts do not get much better. Outstanding all-round display. Bullied and bossed Coventry's defence all night long, just too strong and too powerful. Scored two very different goals, a brilliant solo effort and a scrappy close-range finish. Cobblers will hope this is a sign of things to come... 9.5 CHRON STAR MAN

Amid all the focus on his strike partner, his efforts shouldn't go unappreciated. Hit the post, set up another chance and it was a tremendous leap and header to make Etete's first goal possible... 8.5
12. Mitch Pinnock
His long throws have created two goals in two games, a surprising but so far very effective weapon for the Cobblers... 7
