2007: Tottenham Hotspur 2-3 Birmingham City

Sebastian Larsson scored a stoppage-time winner as Birmingham City triumphed 3-2 away against Tottenham Hotspur in Alex McLeish’s first match as manager. 

Gary McSheffrey’s penalty gave Birmingham the lead, only for Robbie Keane to level with a spot-kick of his own and then put Spurs ahead three minutes later.

But Cameron Jerome made it 2-2 and Keane was then sent off, leaving McLeish’s side in the ascendancy - and Larsson struck decisively in the 92nd minute.

The result left Spurs 16th on 12 points, a point above the drop zone, while Birmingham moved up to 12th on 14 points - still only three points from relegation.
