West Ham United 18th | Coventry City 16th (22)
West Ham gain their first win in five games and survival is now possible for them. Brooking is in a class of his own at a wet and muddy Upton Park. Robson needs three attempts at scoring the first goal, and Yorath, back from suspension, handles Bonds’ free-kick for Pike’s penalty.
Programmes shown are the postponed and re-arranged fixtures. City's shirts were allegedly bought at East London sports shop after ref said there was a colour clash.
