Coventry City 1st | Chelsea 12th (20)
City are outplayed for long periods in the sweltering weather but refuse to lie down. They capitalise on Chelsea’s sloppiness in glorious fashion with Dublin exposing Leboeuf’s defensive frailties and grabbing the first home hat-trick for nine years. Breen looks out of position at full back.
