Southampton 4th | Coventry City 12th (22)

A battling performance ends City’s dreadful away run. It is Saints’ first home defeat and City’s first win at the Dell since 1939. Wallace shows why he is one of the most lethal finishers in the game with two opportunist goals. He also sets up Ray Gooding for a beautiful chipped winner.
