Aston Villa 10th | Coventry City 8th (22)

Villa are let off the hook in the lashing rain after being run ragged in the second half . Evans is unmarked for his headed goal and Thompson’s adds a bullet-like header from Bobby McDonald’s cross. Both sides seem to have missed out on a European place and it’s not hard to see why.
