Coventry City 1st | Middlesbrough 7th (22)

Boro’s strong-arm tactics fail to stop them losing their unbeaten record to the Sky Blues. Raich Carter’s men are angry, as Rees holds down the keeper for the first goal, but have no complaints at Kirby’s header and Hudson’s cheeky third. The woodwork saves Boro three more times.
