Brum blow for Bruce
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce collected a few more bitter memories from St Andrews as his old club Birmingham claimed a third Premier League victory of the season, winning 2-1.
Bruce, whose first return to City since his acrimonious departure almost two years ago came on the day Carson Yeung's new regime was launched in earnest, could only look on as his side fell 2-0 behind with 48 minutes gone.
Strikes by defender Liam Ridgewell and midfielder James McFadden doubled City's league tally at home this season and were ultimately enough to clinch the points, although only just.
Sunderland gave themselves a lifeline when Scott Dann put through his own goal with eight minutes remaining, but substitute Fraizer Campbell and leading scorer Darren Bent passed up late opportunities to wrestle back a point.
But that would have been harsh on the home side, who dominated much of what had gone before in front of a delighted crowd of 21,723 - following a rallying call from new chairman Vico Hui on the pitch before kick-off.
