Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish was delighted after seeing his side win 3-2 at Wigan Athletic to move into the top half of the Premier League table.

The Blues roared back from a goal down to take the points at the DW Stadium thanks to two goals from Sebastian Larsson and one from Christian Benitez.

Afterwards, McLeish commented: "We're showing we belong in Premier League.

"When I was grumpy earlier in the season about losing points from certain games, I felt then we didn't look out of place.

"Now we are getting our rewards for those early performances and missed points, although we've had to learn the hard way in certain cases.

"But we know nothing has been achieved yet. I've been in the game too long for that.

"However, this should give the players massive confidence and they are entitled to feel confident because they've earned it.

"Since the start of the season they have been resilient, bounced back from setbacks in any given game and they've got their rewards."
