Southampton 3rd | Coventry City 9th (22)

City fail to end the Dell bogey stretching back to 1939, despite Huxford being in goal for an hour after Hollowbread’s injury. City dominate the first half but let Saints off the hook. After the break, Ted Bates’ men are on top. Terry Paine sets up the goal from John Sydenham’s corner.
