Burnley 2 - Birmingham City 1 (Premier League)



After a goalless first half at Turf Moor, Birmingham keeper Joe Hart should have had no trouble handling a weak left-foot effort from Steven Fletcher but the keeper allowed it to bounce off him and into the net. The Clarets soon chalked up number two, Andre Bikey pretending he was Franz Beckenbauer by strolling up from defence to play a one-two with Fletcher into the box and producing a fabulous finish to score. Sebastian Larsson netted a 90th minute free-kick consolation for Blues.
