Coventry City 11th | Tottenham Hotspur 5th (20)

An adventurous City, almost back to full strength, give Spurs a run for their money in the best game of the season. The McGrath-Gascoigne tussle ends after 12 minutes when Gazza lashes out at marker McGrath and breaks his fore-arm. Spurs finish stronger and Lineker goes close.
