FROM THE COVENTRY EVENING TELEGRAPH 22ND MARCH 1975
It appears Coventry City are fated by dubious referee’s decisions at Maine Road. Last season they lost 1-0 to a Rodney Marsh penalty after Francis Lee had ‘dived’ after a Dugdale tackle.
Today Manchester were awarded a similar kick when Lloyd headed away quite cleanly from Royle. Tueart scored from the spot and it was enough to give Manchester both points.
City can count themselves unlucky on a day when they defended for most of the game with distinction and style.
… Two players were booked, Craven for City and Summerbee for Manchester, but, on the whole, this was a game without incident and, at times, lacking excitement.
