Coventry City 20th | Aston Villa 6th (22)
Alan Dugdale sent off for two bookings, 53 minutes.
Villa are applauded on to the pitch by City’s players in recognition of their midweek League Cup Final victory, and their match-winner Little does it again. Coventry lead 2-1 when Dugdale walks for tripping Mortimer after 53 mins and Villa run City off their feet to grab a lucky win.
