Aston Villa 5th | Coventry City 16th (20)
Cup fever grips Coventry, but Villa bring City down to earth. Dreams of ending the Villa hoodoo are shattered. Dwight Yorke looks in deadly form and scores twice. Staunton’s header over Bosnich makes for a lively finale, but City deserve nothing from a negative, spiritless display.
