Coventry City 12th | Portsmouth 1st (24)

Pompey still lead the table by five points, despite a third defeat in a row. Hill’s tiny forwards are dwarfed by Pompey’s defence but twice Ron Farmer nets after Dwight efforts rebound. First from the bar, then the keeper. Curtis quells the Saunders’ danger and City could have had more.
