Taylor earns Birminham a point

Birmingham 1 Tottenham 1

Maik Taylor produced two stunning late saves to deny Tottenham their first Premiership away win of 2005 and earn his side a fortunate point.

The Northern Ireland number one had been in stunning form for his country in the World Cup qualifiers with England and Poland.

And he showed his class again with a brace of stunning stops to thwart Spurs substitute Mido and then Frederic Kanoute.
