Birmingham City 1-1 Liverpool – Recap and Video Highlights
Liverpool traveled to St Andrew’s Stadium to face Birmingham City in the English Premier League on Sunday, April 4, 2010. They needed a win to gain ground on 4th place Manchester City and keep their Champions League hopes a live. A loss would probably end their chances while a draw would also significantly hurt them. Birmingham City was middle of the table and safe from relegation heading into the match.
Birmingham City 1-1 Liverpool – Video Highlights
For the second week in a row, Birmingham City came back from an 0-1 deficit to get a draw.
Liverpool would take an early second half lead as Steven Gerrard scored in the 47th minute. Unfortunately for the visitors, they wouldn’t be able to hold onto this lead as Birmingham City would score in the 56th minute to make it 1-1.
It was a similar match to last weekend when Arsenal took a 1-0 lead but City replied quickly. It’s a disappointing result for Liverpool who look like they will be playing in the Europa League next season instead of the Champions League.
