Sunderland 2 Birmingham 0 – Verdict
Tuesday 22nd September 2009, 9:40PM BST.
An under-strength Birmingham side fell as expected at the Stadium of Light as Sunderland progressed in the Carling Cup.
With an injury list in double figures, Blues then fell behind in 233 seconds of the third round tie, when Jordan Henderson fired home from outside the area.
And there was no way back for Alex McLeish’s side in the all-Premier League tie from Frazier Campbell’s first goal for the Black Cats in the 22nd minute, rising to head home Andy Reid’s cross.
