Coventry City 2nd | Port Vale 16th (24)

Possession counts for nothing against an iron defence as City pound away without success. Freddie Steele’s men put nine men behind the ball and frustrate City. Wesson, harassed by Harkin, lets Smith’s lob go under the bar. Kirby’s clinical finish from Bruck’s cross restores parity.
