Birmingham dominated the match but had to wait until the fourth minute of injury time to break the deadlock at St Andrews.

The Scotland international latched on to a parried shot to shoot home from 12 yards and seal the win.

Norwich striker Leroy Lita hit a hat-trick to condemn Wolves to a 5-2 defeat at Carrow Road.

A Carl Ikeme set the Canaries on their way, while Lita's goals (39, 58, 70) ultimately put the away side to the sword who could only managed goals from Neill Collins and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake either side of the break.

Lee Croft then tapped in to finish off Wolves, who also had Richard Stearman sent off.

Elsewhere, Reading now sit two points behind Wolves in third after their 2-1 win over Doncaster at the Madejski Stadium, while Sheffield Wednesday failed to win their second South Yorkshire derby in three days after losing 2-1 at Barnsley.

Blackpool beat Derby 3-2 at Bloomfield Road, Sheffield United and Southampton and had to settle for a 0-0 draw, while rock-bottom Nottingham Forest were held to a 1-1 draw with Ipswich at the City Ground.

Two late goals from Chris Eagles and Robbie Blake gave Burnley a 3-1 win at Coventry and Watford drew 2-2 with Cardiff at Vicarage Road and QPR drew 0-0 at Swansea in an ill-tempered match.
