Coventry City 1st | Bolton Wanderers 11th (22)

Sixteen games without defeat is a new club record as Match of the Day makes its first visit. Phillips’ header is Bolton’s first effort on target, and gains a lucky point. Rees’ mazy 60-yard run sets up Gould but despite Machin’s excellent display he misses four chances. Lowes struggles.
