Chelsea 2nd | Coventry City 16th (20)
City lose an exciting game after looking in control. They sit back too deep, although the game was there to be won, and Chelsea surge forward. Shaw is exposed at right-back and Graham Le Saux’s crosses make the first two goals for sub Mark Nicholls. Moldovan has a muted debut.
