Birmingham City 1 0 Sheffield UnitedThe script was almost written for him.Kevin Phillips, Citys summer signing from West Bromwich Albion, had previously netted on his debut for Matt Milano Jersey three of the five clubs encompa sed in his career.And ominously, he made it four out of six by netting the late winner leaving Blades manager Kevin Blackwell frustrated.United and Birmingham, both tipped by the bookmakers to make an impre sion on the final table in May, slugged it out in a game devoid of many clear cut chances that was apparently bound for a stalemate, until Phillips popped up as a substitute and bagged the winner in injury time.Despite the close attention of Blades captain Chris Morgan, he swivelled and fired a low shot into Paddy Kennys left hand corner.Phillips wheels away after scoring the winnerPicking the ball out of Kaiir Elam Jersey his net, deep into the 92nd minute of the game, was all Kenny had to do all afternoon, save for a few deep cro ses from the impre sive James McFadden. Former Blade Marcus Bent threatened Uniteds rearguard early on but Morgan and defensive partner Matthew Kilgallon stood strong and protected their goal. The latter was forced Rodger Saffold Jersey to take evasive action following a corner the ball broke invitingly to a blue shirt inside the penalty area, forcing Kilgallon to throw himself at the ball and deflect it clear. Handing debuts to Darius Henderson, Sun Jihai and Greg Halford, and suprisingly only naming David Cotterill on the substitutes bench, Blackwell stated his frustration at the sucker punch after looking good for a point from the game.Im going to give Kevin all Frank Reich Jersey the credit because Im so frustrated at the moment I might say things I dont want to say, Blackwell told Sky Sports after the game.I thought we were very well organised. I dont think they caused us too many problems, said Blackwell.I thought we gave a good performance, so in terms of that Im pleased. Devin Singletary Jersey We had to come here and put a marker down, everyone knows were a decent side, and hopefully we will get some luck at the end of the season when we need it.
