Jarosik lifts Birmingham out of relegation zone

Birmingham 1 Bolton 0

Jiri Jarosik produced a moment of class against Bolton at St Andrews to breathe life into Birmingham’s fight for survival.

The on-loan 28-year-old was ineligible at the weekend against his parent club Chelsea but he returned to the starting XI in devastating style.

Jarosik shimmied past Jay-Jay Okocha and planted the ball in the corner after 36 minutes to lift his side out of the bottom three for the first time in six months.
