Larsson, recalled to the starting line-up by McLeish, fired an unstoppable 93rd-minute shot that inflicted a first defeat on Tottenham under Juande Ramos.

Spurs skipper Robbie Keane turned from hero to villain by scoring twice in three minutes to reel in Birmingham, only to then be sent off for a lunging tackle on Fabrice Muamba.

The Blues were under constant siege when they took a shock lead, blundering defender Younes Kaboul conceding a daft penalty that Gary McSheffrey converted.

But Birmingham buckled under the pressure just four minutes after the interval, Johan Djourou conceding a penalty that Keane converted before adding his second shortly after.

In full command, Spurs looked set for victory but Cameron Jerome, returning to the team after a hernia operation, levelled with a brilliant finish.

Spurs were up against it without Keane in the final 22 minutes after he was the victim of an over-zealous decision by referee Phil Dowd and the pressure eventually told with Larsson landing the telling blow.
