United retain their unbeaten record in a game marred by pedantic refereeing. Ref Martin awards 63 free-kicks, books five players and sends off Pickering for his first offence, a foul on Anderson. He is booed off by both sets of players and given a police escort away from the ground.
Nick Pickering sent off for foul on Viv Anderson, 57 minutes
