MAN OF THE MATCH
MICHAEL DUFF: Defender couldn't have done much more to secure a win for Clarets. Big contribution at both ends
VILLAIN Federico Macheda: Came off the bench to spark Birmingham fightback. Seemingly handled before making it 3-3 deep into stoppage time
KEY MOMENT Macheda's introduction. The home side had shown no end product beforehand
