City and Birmingham meet in the FA Cup for the first time since the 1956 Final at Wembley.

Andy Morrison opens the scoring at Maine Road, powering home a header from Danny Tiatto’s corner.

Darren Huckerby doubles the lead with a fine solo run before Shaun Goater makes it three before half-time from the spot, after Alife Haaland had been upended by Brum goalkeeper Ian Bennett.

The visitors claw themselves back into the tie after the break with Martin Grainger’s impressive curling effort and a Dele Adebola header - but the home side hang on to progress.
