Man Utd denied top spot by Birmingham

Manchester United missed another chance to overtake league leaders Chelsea after a grueling encounter with Birmingham at St. Andrews

A failed clearance from Evans allowed Cameron Jerome an easy finish to give Blues a shock lead

Patrice Evra’s low shot forced an own goal from Scott Dann as referee Mark Clattenburg overturned an offside decision from his assistant

Clattenburg’s role was highlighted again as he harshly sent Darren Fletcher off for a second yellow late on.

United played last 5 (+6 added) minutes with 10-men on the field as young striker Diouf was handed premier league debut by Sir Alex Ferguson but neither side was able to find a winner.

Birmingham 1-1 Man Utd

Brmingham: Jerome 39
Man Utd: Dann (og) 63
