Birmingham City 1-0 West Bromwich Albion - Lyle Taylor's penalty beats Steve Bruce's Baggies

Birmingham City pretty much ended any lingering hopes West Bromwich Albion might have had of making the Championship play-offs as they beat ex-Blues boss Steve Bruce's Baggies.

In a desperately poor derby, the only goal of the game came from the penalty spot, from on-loan Nottingham Forest striker Lyle Taylor.

And that ended a sorry run for Blues against their neighbours.

Birmingham had not beaten Albion in nine attempts since Bruce himself was City manager with two Gary McSheffrey goals in a 2-0 win back in October 2006.

But it took a moment of Albion madness on 67 minutes to gift a goal to a Blues side who had not won, or even scored, in three matches.
