Allan Evans sent off for violent conduct, head butting Tommy Hutchison.

In a poor derby match, the highlights are few. Evans is sent off after 42 minutes for head-butting Hutchison, who had earlier scored a dipping screamer. Rimmer brilliantly saved McDonald’s header before Deehan’s weak shot sneaks in for an undeserved point for Ron Saunders’ men.
