Birmingham continued to enjoy the mini-purple patch that has coincided with the resolution of Carson Yeung's interminable boardroom takeover, beating Fulham by the single goal of a largely messy match played in relentless driving rain. Alex McLeish's team are now unbeaten in four league games, equalling their best run in the top tier during his time in charge. The only goal of the game arrived after...

This was about as woeful a night as Liverpool could experience without losing. Despite scoring the opener they were 2-1 down and even the equaliser shamed them since David Ngog, who had put his team ahead, appeared to dive as Lee Carsley slid into a challenge. The substitute Steven Gerrard converted the penalty in the 71st minute but his side has now taken a single victory from its last nine fixtures....

The Blues dominated the first half and defender Liam Ridgewell flicked in the opener off his chest from Sebastian Larsson's whipped-in free-kick. Scotland's James McFadden slotted in a fine second goal after a dazzling back-heel...
