Birmingham boss Alex McLeish:
“I thought there were aspects of our play that were good but losing an early goal was pretty sad.

“Last year we did the same thing and it leaves you with a mountain to climb.

“But what a great fightback by our team, who have a superb attitude and a never-say-die attitude against a Chelsea team in fantastic form.”
