Coventry City 13th | Southampton 7th (22)
The highly vaunted Davies-Chivers strikeforce is thwarted by Davies’ back injury. City record their first win in a patchy, ill-tempered game with four bookings and 101 minutes played. Rees scores when the ref plays on after a bad tackle and Saints hesitate. City hang on desperately.
