Kingsley Black’s second-half winner sank out of touch Middlesborough and gave struggling Nottingham Forest their first win in 11 premier league matches the previous night. They suffered a blow before the game when Robbie Mustoe became their fifth injured midfielder when forced to drop out after a training injury and 18-year-old Irish lad Graham Kavanagh was called in for his debut. Brian Clough praised his much-criticized defense and said “Our back four got us through the game. They earned their corn against Middlesborough and that’s why we came off with a win.”

United, on the other hand, were lying seventh on the table, seven points behind their opponents.

Eight clubs joined forces to block the multi-million-pound title sponsorship deal involving Bass. The clubs prefer to do their own thing with an advertising company, prompting a Crystal Palace walkout. The November 2 meeting of clubs had been postponed with premier league chief executive Ricky Parry trying to repair relations in conjunction with Liverpool and Manchester United. Whatever happened to the five year deal with BSkyB was then worth £200 million compared to the original £304 million forecasts.
