Barry Hunter sent off for two bookings, 33 minutes
John Dempster sent off for deliberate handball, denying a goal, 81 minutes
A young City side notch a club record cup victory and miss chances for double figures. Hunter sees red after 33 minutes for two yellows and Dempster is off for handball for the penalty. Richard Shaw and McSheffrey want to take the spot-kick but Robert Betts won’t let go of the ball.
