Birmingham City Vs. Coventry City: 3-2 Birmingham At Full Time

For a little while Coventry looked like they'd pull off a surprising win in Birmginham, but despite some fairly dire play, the hosts came back from a 2-0 deficit to pull off the win. Although Kevin Phillips will get the bulk of the plaudits for netting the go-ahead goal, it was David Bentley who inspired Birmingham's comeback, creating a host of chances and scoring a stunning 25-yard goal to get the Blues back into it. Naturally, Phillips was named man of the match anyway.

Marlon King and Richard Wood were the goalscorers for Coventry, the former sliding home a prescise far-post delivery while Liam Ridgewell lay rather pointlessly on the ground and the latter exploiting Birmingham's rather bizarre set-play defence by nipping home unmarked from a corner. However, Bentley scored a rocket, Stuart Parnaby equalised after something of a scramble in front of Keiren Westwood's goal, and Kevin Phillips broke Coventry hearts with a goal that sent Birmingham into the fifth round of the FA Cup.
