FROM THE PRESS BOX
STEVE McHUGH WRITING IN THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS FOOTBALL PINK FINAL 27TH OCTOBER 1979 ... Manchester City were brought crashing back to earth by Liverpool. ... City, whose unbeaten run of six games had taken them to the fringe of the title race, were made to "kop" it 4-0 by a Liverpool side showing the form which brought them the championship. ... Kenny Dalglish tormented the Blues at Maine Road, and claimed goals in the 30th and 66th minutes, after David Johnson had opened the scoring. And rampant Liverpool made it 4-0 through Ray Kennedy. It was a sharp lesson for the City youngsters, who were unlucky not to strike when Mike Robinson's blistering first half effort came back off the inside of a post.
