Birmingham and United still scoreless

Birmingham goalkeeper Maik Taylor made a superb save from Ruud van Nistelrooy to keep his side on level terms in an exciting Barclays Premiership clash with Manchester United at St Andrews.

The Northern Ireland number one denied the Dutch striker at point-blank range as the Red Devils finished the opening half strongly.

Birmingham had come closest through Emile Heskey and had played some attractive football in the first half-hour with David Dunn prominent.

With 10 minutes to go, the sides are still deadlocked.
