Birmingham City Vs. West Brom: Two Goals In Four Minutes Apologize For Horrid First Half

Birmingham City and West Bromwich Albion apologizes for a terrible first half by producing two goals in three minutes after the kicing-off the second half. Youssuf Mulumbu put West Brom up in the 47th minute, poking a ball over and past Ben Foster. One minute, twenty second later, Birmingham City broke through Brom’s left side and produced a cross for Jean Beausejour to put home. After a first half that failed to produce a chance, Birmingham City and West Brom stood 1-1 after 48 minutes.

The play for West Brom’s goal started with a chip over the Burm line, with substitute Peter Odemwingie failing to get to the ball before Ben Foster came onto the ball at the edge of the penalty area. The `keeper’s left footed clearance went only 20 yards, allowing Mulumbu to put the ball back in for Odemwingie. The Nigerian carried the ball into the area before laying-off for the oncoming Mulumbu, who finished over the wrong-guessing Foster from 14 yards out.

Moments later, with Mulumbu off the pitch, Stephen Carr broke through West Brom’s left flank before putting Lee Bowyer toward the byline, The Brum midfielder put a right footed cross through the six, where Jean Beausejour came in from the left wing, beating Steven Reid, to get the equalizer.
