FROM THE PRESS BOX
RON GIRVIN WRITING IN THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS FOOTBALL PINK FINAL 14TH MARCH 1987 Manchester City sank deeper into relegatio trouble today. They went down 2-1 at home to Chelsea, Gordon Durie snatching victory with a goal two minutes from time. Chelsea had gone ahead with a 33rd minute goal from Joe McLaughlin a few minutes after City had lost Graham Baker with an injury. Neil McNab had seemed to give City a lifeline with a penalty after David White had been brought down. But then Durie finally sank the Blues.
