Jim Blyth saved John Ryan's penalty, 89 minutes.

Sensational, breathtaking, unbelievable! One of the greatest games ever seen at Highfield Road, with Blyth saving Ryan’s last-minute penalty to clinch the win. Wallace’s bicycle-kick goal is out of this world and Peters hits the post at 5-4. Powell takes the penalty in Coop’s absence.
