REPORT FROM THE NEWCASTLE EVENING CHRONICLE 20TH DECEMBER 1990
Middlesbrough boss Colin Todd was adamant that Manchester City’s 80th minute winner should never have been allowed in last night’s Zenith Data Systems Cup tie at Maine Road.
Mark Ward’s corner was headed home by Niall Quinn to give City victory but Todd said: “My players insist the ball was not over the line for the corner.”
David White gave City the lead in the eighth minute but John Hendrie snatched the equaliser in the 62nd minute for Boro.
