Half-Time Report: Birmingham City edge ahead at Burnley

Jon Toral's early goal gives Birmingham City the advantage at the break away to Burnley in the Championship.

Jon Toral's goal has given Birmingham City a half-time lead away to Burnley in the Championship.

The visitors made the breakthrough with just 10 minutes on the clock when Toral got on the end of Clayton Donaldson's flick before finding the net for his second goal in two league games.

Burnley responded well after going behind, but George Boyd and Lukas Jutkiewicz saw their tame efforts saved by Tomasz Kuszczak.

Both sides continued to show plenty of attacking intent as the half wore on, though clear-cut chances were hard to come by.

The away team carved out an opportunity to make it 2-0 on 28 minutes as Donaldson teed up David Cotterill. However, the midfielder's drive went the wrong side of the post.

Birmingham threatened again when Cotterill's curled shot came back off the post, while Kuszczak was called into action towards the end of the half to keep out Jutkiewicz again.

The final action of the half saw Tom Heaton pull off a good save to stop Stephen Gleeson's fizzing 30-yard shot from dipping under the crossbar.
