Coventry City 15th | Aston Villa 2nd (22)

Title-chasing Villa show their pedigree with 20 glorious minutes in the second half. In a fierce game with lots of petty, niggling fouls, Morley races from the halfway line to score. Peter Withe adds a header. Mark Hateley heads in and sparks a revival but he misses a chance to level it.
