Coventry City 3rd | Derby County 6th (22)

In a barn-storming finish, with both sides missing chances, City deservedly hold on to win. Stein beats the Derby offside trap to head in Wilf Smith’s cross for his first goal of the season. Swirling wind and rain don’t spoil a super game or prevent Coventry’s fifth successive home win.
