Southampton 12th | Coventry City 7th (22)

Mick Coop's penalty saved by Terry Gennoe, 69 minutes.

Milne’s gamble of playing five attackers and three defenders backfires and Saints, with Yugoslav Golac menacing, expose City’s frailties. Six City players are rescued by the fire brigade after getting stuck in a hotel lift an hour before kick-off. Gennoe saves Coop’s 69th-minute penalty.
