Coventry City 19th | Newcastle United 3rd (22)

The seats have been removed from the Spion Kop, increasing capacity to 22,500. A bad game, apart from the end, with City’s defensive frailties exposed. The Magpies, with McFaul as acting manager after Jack Charlton’s departure, snatch it with Reilly’s volley and Stewart’s low shot.
