Manchester City (a) 0-1

In his search for more goals, Bobby Robson introduced Bobby Hunt and promising young debutant Trevor Whymark for Wigg and Hill. Hunt had the ball in the net in the 68th minute only to be given offside, and once again the Town scoresheet remained blank. Francis Lee won and scored the penalty that divided the teams. Tommy Carroll`s challenge looked to be no more than obstruction but was interpreted by the referee as a trip. More

Manchester United (h) 0-1

Although Town more than held their own during the first half they failed to find the finishing touch, and once United scored they gradually took control. The goal came from a rare mistake by David Best. He punched Morgan`s centre high into the air, lost his balance and could only watch as Brian Kidd nodded the ball home. More
