In what was the first time the two sides have met in the second tier since the 1987/88 campaign, Birmingham dominated for long spells but found it hard to break through a resolute Villa defence.

Steve Bruce, on his return to St Andrews, saw his side take the lead against the run of play when Gary Gardener powerfully headed home a Jordan Ayew free-kick.

Blues got the equaliser they deserved after the interval when David Davis rifled home a low drive from 20-yards.
