Coventry City 8th | Newcastle United 1st (22)
Both teams defy the wind and mud to put on a memorable show. 2,000 away fans see their team’s revival just fail, although the inspirational Iley’s free-kick goes close at the death. City are magical for the first hour and deserve the win. Humphries’ corner is palmed in by Marshall.
