Robert Koren eyes Wembley return

Koren eyes Wembley return

Hull City midfielder Robert Koren has set his sights on a return to Wembley having helped his side qualify for the FA Cup quarter-finals.

The Tigers made it into the last eight courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in their fifth-round replay this evening, with Koren scoring the goal that ultimately proved to be the winner.

The 33-year-old Slovenian reached Wembley during his time with West Bromwich Albion when they took on Portsmouth in the FA Cup semi-finals in 2008, but he is eager to turn out at the famous stadium once again.

"We showed a good spirit and we did really well in the first half," Koren told ITV Sport.

"The legs got tired in the second half and we let them back into the game a little bit but we controlled the game most of the time and we are really happy to go through.

"Of course I've been there but I want to be one more time and hopefully we can win the next round and go to Wembley."

Hull will face Sunderland at the KC Stadium in the quarter-finals on March 8.
