O’Leary counts cost of derby mistakes

Birmingham 2 Aston Villa 0

The Villa keeper had gifted Blues the opening goal in their 2-1 victory in December and another terrible blunder yesterday resulted in the opening goal for Emile Heskey as the home side triumphed 2-0.

Then a mix-up between Martin Laursen and Olof Mellberg resulted in Julian Gray wrapping up proceedings in the closing stages.
