Late goal costs under-21s at Birmingham
A stoppage time goal prevented the under-21s from beating Birmingham this afternoon in the Professional Development League with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
Birmingham went in front ten minutes before half time with a goal from Sahid Kamara and that proved to be the only goal of the half.
Burnley came back after the break and eight minutes in scored an equaliser through left-back Joe Ashton (pictured) who hit a left foot shot into the net having received the ball from Kian Le Fondre, and then we took the lead via an Laiith Fairnie own goal fifteen minutes from time.
We held that lead until the first minute of stoppage time when Birmingham drew level with a Pharrell Williams header.
The teams were;
Birmingham: Brad Mayo, Byron Pendleton, Godfred Boakye, Laiith Fairnie, Stoyan Pergelov, Josh Home, George Hall, O’Shea Ellis (Harley Hamilton ht), Rico Patterson, Sahid Kamara, Junior Dixon. Subs not used: Will O’Sullivan, Zach Willis, Pharrell Williams, Frank Tattum.
Burnley: Charlie Casper, Dan Sassi, Jack McEvilly (Jack Rogers 69), Murray Campbell, Joe Ashton, Will Hugill, Adam McCoy, Callum West (Lucas Wane 80), Tom Tweedy (Trialist 80), Kian Le Fondre (Renaldo Torraj 61), Joe Westley. Sub not used: Harry Moss.
