Coventry City 15th | Tottenham Hotspur 20th (22)

Spurs arrive bottom of the league and organise a defensive trap masterminded by Yorath. City breach it twice, first by Wallace, then, with 13 minutes left, when Steve Hunt went clean through to shot at Daines. In a match of five bookings, Coventry’s midfield failings are highlighted.
