Aston Villa 5th | Coventry City 12th (22)

A tiny City following see an embarrassing annihilation on a bitterly cold night. Terry Donovan scores on his debut and Little could have had a hatful as Villa extend their run to one defeat in 14. City make one chance all game, and Jim Holton’s sixth booking completes a miserable night.
