Foster gives Chelsea the Blues
Birmingham keeper 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 1-0 victory at St Andrew's.
But their hero 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 a way 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.
