Birmingham move above Boro after victory

Birmingham 3 Middlesbrough 0

Stewart Downing sliced into his own net to put Birmingham on the way to a victory which took them above Middlesbrough in the Premier League.

Mikael Forssell then added a second and Gary McSheffrey converted a late penalty to give the Blues a deserved victory at St Andrews.

Undermined by shaky defending, Boro never really found their stride and when they did create chances, Maik Taylor stood firm in the Birmingham goal.
