Donald Igwebuike's 28-yarder with three seconds left marked a comeback from an early 10-0 deficit, thanks in no part to the Nigerian kicker who booted a 53-yarder just before half-time. "It was an especially big victory after getting embarrassed the previous week" said Ray Perkins. "We're not a great team yet by any means but it was satisfying to win any time."
