Manchester City 5th | Coventry City 7th (22)

City fight hard but can’t match the smooth-flowing Manchester and lose their unbeaten record. A dubious penalty is given when Lee appears to dive, and Marsh scores. Soon after, Pardoe blatantly pushes Green over but nothing is given. Scottish boss Ormond watches Hutch and Stein.
