Newcastle United 3rd | Coventry City 11th (22)
Newcastle recover from three defeats in a row to give City a thrashing after an even first half. Cole’s three goals are down to defensive lapses in a game beamed back to a subdued Highfield Road. Babb’s absence in the second half is significant. Mathie scores a minute after coming on.
