Coventry City 11th | Reading 9th (24)
Steve Sidwell sent off for two bookings, 57 minutes.
City put on an excellent show and could have led 4-1 at the break. Neither Black nor Steve Coppell like the ref. City have a good penalty rejected and Sidwell is harshly sent off for two yellows. Salako’s curling free-kick is left by everyone and sneaks in. Play-off talk is ended.
