Manchester United 8th | Coventry City 22nd (22)

A dull game and a poor performance by the European champions. Coventry never threaten to pull back the deficit and Alex Stepney is under-employed. City’s defence contains United’s stars well and Glazier makes four outstanding saves. Ryan connects with a high-bouncing ball.
