Manchester United 3rd | Coventry City 17th (22)

United have £1.5 million record signing Bryan Robson in their side, but he can’t stop City’s kids making this a winning return for Sexton with their first win in 13. Atkinson’s team’s title hopes are dented with a well-drilled, defensive display that restricted the home side to long shots.
