the drama as Albion gap to beat the drop

When he went off injured after 27 minutes, Dylan Williams, who had struggled for game-time, replaced him and delivered an inspired, non-stop performance.

Julian Larsson came to the party with a brilliant solo goal, driving and running between a clutch of defenders, just before half time and Burrell added his second 10 minutes after the break. Elsewhere, Bristol Rovers lost their sixth straight game and for the first time since September, the Brewers were out of the bottom four.

The Brewers could not find a goal away to Exeter City next time out but the goalless draw was a useful point.

The trick now was to match whatever Rovers did and they had drawn too, away to Wrexham.

With the League One title wrapped up, Birmingham City were still in no mood to take their foot off the gas and eased to a 2-1 win at the Pirelli.
