00:00Of course, Liverpool's still without Robbie Fowler.
00:02Coventry managed by Phil Neill, who in his Liverpool career won eight championship medals,
00:07a record shared with Alan Hansen and Kenny Dalgleish.
00:10The match commentator is Graham Lloyd.
00:14This is Boland, his first appearance of the season, to Derby.
00:18They'll be operating in the centre of midfield.
00:19Loose play there, Redknapp taking over for Liverpool.
00:22Through to Rush, and Mbmanaman, Mbmanaman taking over.
00:25Rush is free, tough for Rush.
00:27That's it.
00:30Who says he's finished as a striker?
00:33Three minutes gone, and Ian Rush showing why Manchester City were prepared to pay one and a half million pounds for him.
00:41It was Redknapp who made the initial break through to Mbmanaman, and then he set up Rush.
00:48He looked up, took aim, one nil to Liverpool.
00:51He won his first ten minutes of this match.
01:00Steve McMahon, dispossessed, illegally in his view by John Monker, and it was Andy Mutch who played in Fjortoft.
01:06Just recently, the Norwegian doesn't miss.
01:09That was goal number eight in six games for Fjortoft.
01:15Swindon ahead in eight minutes.
01:18Arguably the crucial moment of the game followed soon after.
01:21From Nicky Summerby's cross, the Norwegian got above Michel Vonk and firmly headed into the City goal,
01:27only for the celebrations to be cut short.
01:29Swindon were of the opinion the referee's decision cost them the game.
01:34Referee Peter Folk's reaction revealed he'd seen a push.
01:38Who knows how the City fans would have reacted at being two down, but it wasn't long before they were cheering an equaliser.
01:45Richard Edgehill's driven cross ended up in the Swindon net.
01:48Edgehill really gave it a whack.
01:50The unlucky Swindon defender was Kevin Horlock, the ball going in off his knee.
01:56One all at half-time, and it was a goal worthy of winning a match that City scored after 50 minutes.
02:02David Rowe-Castle kept his composure and his balance.
02:052-1 to City, Rowe-Castle's first goal since joining the club from Leeds, and already he's become a main road favourite.
02:14Needless to say, Swindon pressed and pressed.
02:16They'll feel they should have equalised. Terry Fenwick's header was dealt with by Andy Dibble, in for the injured Tony Cotan.
02:23They were still piling forward a minute from time.
02:25Andy Mutch headed just wide from Frank McIverney's cross.
02:29Things were tense too in the vicinity of the two dugouts.
02:32Words had been exchanged during the game between Messers-Halton and Gorman.
02:36One was hoping the referee would forget to look at his watch, the other praying for the final whistle.
02:42The ball was in the City penalty area again when it sounded.
02:45It signalled a vital win for the main road club, and a vital win for Brian Horton himself.
02:50It was Swindon and John Gorman who had to suffer today.
02:55Who'd be a manager.
02:56Just two more matches to catch up on tonight, and look out first for a cracking goal from a man who may just be in Terry Venable's England squad on Monday.
03:03Matthew Letizia has timed his latest run of magical form to perfection, almost daring the new national coach to ignore him at his peril.
03:16But it was a curious awarding of a free kick to Southampton which offered him his opportunity to shine in the 74th minute.
03:22Brian McAllister adjudged to have held Letizia.
03:25Wimbledon manager Joe Kinnear was angered by the referee's decision.
03:28His after-match comments on officials daring to say the least.
03:31No more daring though than Letizia's audacious flick and shot into the top corner.
03:35His 16th goal of the season, as spectacular as any that have gone before.
03:40That's six in the last four games for Southampton's star attraction.
03:45An improvised goal it seemed, but he was born on the training pitch.
03:48I didn't go to the training ground at all on Friday, and Alan came back, gallon ball, and was in my office, and he said, I've seen something today.
03:56He said, it's special.
03:57He said, Matt Letizia was practicing a free kick, and he said he took six and he scored four from the same thing, and he told me all about it.
04:07And I told a couple of people this morning, and they didn't necessarily believe it, but they'll see it now for themselves, and that was an exact free kick.
04:16Another England candidate was to give Terry Venables one more timely reminder at Carrow Road, but not before Sheffield Wednesday had established a 75th-minute lead.
04:27Carlton Palmer's typical forward surge setting up substitute Gordon Watson for the opening goal via the helping boot of team-mate David Hurst.
04:35Norwich had drawn their last six matches, and deep into injury time they threw goalkeeper Brian Gunn into attack, in a desperate bid to make that a club record seven in a row.
04:45And he was involved twice in the remarkable scramble which preceded Chris Sutton's deserved equaliser.
04:50Everything he touches turns to goals at the moment.
04:53That's 24 for the season.
04:55Perhaps he'll be another of England's new breed.
04:58Right, let's take a check on the table then.
05:01And Paul Ince's late equaliser at West Ham has stretched Manchester United's lead to seven points from six.
05:07Despite their defeat at Arsenal, Blackburn are still ten points clear in second place.
05:12And as we move to the other half, Swindon of course still propping things up after their defeat at Manchester City.
05:19Their bottom-on goal difference from Sheffield United, whose game was postponed today.
