Birmingham City 2-1 Sunderland: Tony Mowbray's Blues turn it round to beat old club

Birmingham City had to come from behind to beat Sunderland as they won successive Championship games for the first time since October.

After trailing to a sloppy Jack Clarke goal at half-time, Blues turned it round with a Jordan James equaliser before Koji Miyoshi struck an 80th-minute close-range winner.

Roared on by a crowd of 27,449 - the biggest home gate for more than seven years - that completed a double for Blues boss Tony Mowbray, who won this fixture when still the Sunderland manager back in November.

Having led the Wearsiders to a 3-1 win at the Stadium of Light he repeated that trick in his first meeting against his old club.
