FT: Birmingham 2-0 Huddersfield
Birmingham earned their first win under Harry Redknapp with a 2-0 victory over a much-changed Huddersfield side despite Che Adams’ first-half sending off, but they are still only two points clear of the relegation zone heading into the final game of the season.
Birmingham City manager Harry Redknapp told BBC WM:
“I thought it was a poor sending off, I’ve looked at it a dozen times and he was on the floor, he’s gone for the ball, no way I can see is that a red card.
“We defended fantastic, the back four stood strong, the four across the middle of the park have done their jobs, and [Lukas] Jutkiewicz up front held the ball up and caused them problems when he could. It was a great performance.
“We have to win [next week], a point is absolutely useless.”
