Birmingham 1 Southampton 0 - verdict
Neighbours Birmingham City kept the pressure up on Wolves with their second one-goal win of the week at St Andrew's.
It was another thoroughly deserved victory for Alex McLeish's side given to them by a Keith Fahey strike on the stroke of half-time.
How Blues failed to add more from a game they dominated remains a problem for McLeish, which could be about to get worse.
His side went into this game with their strike force seriously depleted – and watched both Marcus Bent and Cameron Jerome limp off.
