Coventry City 6th | Aston Villa 2nd (20)
An emphatic home win denies Villa the top spot and takes City into the top six. The TV cameras see City dominate the first half without reward but punish Villa with two excellent goals. Drinkell scores with his first touch and Smith curls a right-footer past the superb Spink.
