Blackburn Rovers 3rd | Coventry City 1st (22)

Mike Ferguson sent off for violent conduct, striking Dietmar Bruck, 45 minutes.

A vital win and only a second home defeat for Jack Marshall’s team. Rovers have won five in a row but promotion hopes are slim. Ferguson strikes Bruck seconds before the break and walks. Gould harries Barton into dropping Rees’ cross and nets. The defence soaks up the pressure.
