Port Vale 17th | Coventry City 2nd (24)

City look calmer at last but decide to defend in depth after the break. A breakaway goal punishes their cautiousness in a rough and tumble game. Hill is superb against Irish cap Bingham, and Curtis snuffs out the wily Richards. Rees’ shot hits a post and deflects off poor Wilson.
