Liam Daish sent off for foul and abusive language, 33 minutes.
An exciting game is spoilt by the incompetent officials who fail to see Dan Petrescu’s blatant handball which leads to the first goal. Liam Daish is sent off for protesting and Ron and Gordon will face disciplinary action. City’s ten men fight hard but fall to Vialli’s first goal in England.
