FROM THE PRESS BOX
RON GIRVIN WRITING IN THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS FOOTBALL PINK FINAL 11TH APRIL 1987 Manchester City became even more entrenched at the foot of Division 1 when they crashed to Southampton at Maine Road. City started well enough with Paul Stewart putting them in front with a header in the 28th minute, his first goal since his £200,000 move from Blackpool. But two minutes from half-time Gordon Hobson equalised and a soft goal from Danny Wallace put them in front after 52 minutes. Hobson went on to complete a hat-trick. Two minutes from time Paul Moulden pulled a goal back.
