| Match Summary | If Manchester City lose at home to Charlton a draw will do. Alas, the Valiants rely on rookie keeper Lee Harmsworth and he lets in five. O’Callaghan’s run from halfway is one of the goals of the season, but Hilaire’s is academic. Even more so, as news of the Bradford fire, just ten miles away, filters through to fans leaving the ground. |
