Foster frustrates Sam

Ben Foster left Blackburn boss Sam Allardyce frustrated as Birmingham ran out 2-1 winners. The 27-year-old, a £6million signing from Manchester United this summer, saved Morten Gamst Pedersen's penalty and pulled off a number of other impressive stops to ensure the Blues maintained an unbeaten home run that stretches back to last September. Craig Gardner scored twice to cancel out Steven Nzonzi's opener but Allardyce admitted Foster was the difference. He said: "Ben Foster won them the game with his outstanding saves and our inability to convert chances into goals. We've completely dominated the game, created far more chances than Birmingham but failed to take them. And to boot we go and throw it all away. "It's a typical Achilles heel of ours, not being able to take advantage of dominating the game and creating chances to win it, and we've paid the price."
