FROM THE PRESS BOX
JEFF HODGSON WRITING IN THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS FOOTBALL PINK FINAL 3RD APRIL 1982 Manchester City missed their chances and paid the price against West Ham at Maine Road this afternoon. City, searching for points that could take them into Europe next season, lost 1-0 to West Ham after letting the Londoners off the hook in the first half. The biggest culprit for City was skipper Paul Power, who headed over the bar with only 'keeper Phil Parkes to beat. Kevin Reeves also squandered a clear chance as City made heavy weather of their attacking game. But the Blues paid for their carelessness when West Ham broke away to score through Paul Goddard after 79 minutes.
