Coventry City 4th in Division Three | Portsmouth 12th in Division Two

Pompey are let off the hook after a one-sided first half. Whitehouse mesmerises George Smith’s men with a vicious shot and deft header, but ex-City man Albie McCann scores one and makes the other. Fruitless extra-time means a third tie at Tottenham. Record receipts of £4,454.
