Wednesday 7 April 1992
City’s ten men fight back admirably to earn a 1-1 draw away to Manchester United.
Ryan Giggs gives United a first-half lead and then Neil Pointon is dismissed on 55 minutes to further compound City’s efforts.
But a superb counter-attack sees David White outpace Steve Bruce and as the speedy winger knocks the ball past the United defender, he mistimes his tackle and brings White crashing down in the box.
Skipper Keith Curle plants the spot-kick in the top right-hand corner of Peter Schmeichel’s net to send 10,000 City fans behind the goal into raptures.

City record their first win at The Vetch Field, home of Swansea City, for 33 years with a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Derek Parlane (below, left) and Steve Kinsey.
Watched by a paltry 7,254 fans, it’s the perfect response to the 5-1 defeat suffered at Fulham in the previous away game and re-ignites the faint hopes of promotion from Division Two, though ultimately, City just miss out by finishing fourth.
