fans through the wringer. Neil
Pointon gave Oldham the lead
against Southampton, only
for Matt Le Tissier to equalise
five minutes later. By this time,
Palace were already trailing 1-0
to Arsenal. Further goals for
Oldham from Ian Olney, Andy
Ritchie and Gunnar Halle had
Joe Royle’s side 4-1 up, but Le
Tissier responded with two more
to complete his hat-trick. With
Arsenal scoring twice in the final
10 minutes to win 3-0, Oldham
managed to hold on for a 4-3 win
to stay up in dramatic fashion.
ANY OTHER BUSINESS?
After announcing his retirement
at the end of April, Brian Clough
managed his final Nottingham
Forest game at Portman Road as
Ipswich defeated his side 2-1.
