Birmingham stopper Ben Foster produced a superb performance as leaders Chelsea suffered successive Barclays Premier League defeats for the first time in more than four years. Lee Bowyer’s opening-half goal, his first for nearly 12 months, earned Alex McLeish’s side a shock victory. But their hero tonight was Foster who bounced back from his error on England duty in midweek with a series of stunning saves.

Chelsea dominated proceedings for the entire 90 minutes but they could not find the back of the net past the former Manchester United player. It was a vastly improved performance by Chelsea compared to their 3-0 home mauling by Sunderland last weekend.
But they tasted defeat in back to back league games for the first time since the end of the 2005-2006 campaign and they now only lead Manchester United on goal difference. In addition to Foster, City centre-backs Scott Dann and Roger Johnson were solid and outstanding.
