Coventry City 6th | Sunderland 5th (22)

Sunderland’s unbeaten start is ended by an early goal in front of a new low Div 1 crowd. City totally dominate and should have scored several more with Thompson, Dyson and Whitton guilty of misses. Hateley limps off and Jacobs breaks his nose but a pedantic referee ruins the game.
