Notes

  • - After Hodgson had scored his first goal, Liverpool were awarded an indirect free-kick when Read, the Grimsby keeper, took too many steps. Hodgson ran into take the kick but as he did so Powell, the Grimsby captain, raced off the line to block the effort and having encroached, he was sent off the field.
