Mikael Forssell scored his first Premiership goal in open play for two years to lift Birmingham out of the bottom three and wreck Robbie Savage´s return to St Andrews with Blackburn as the Blues ran out 2-1 winners.Savage looked as if he had come back to haunt Birmingham by cancelling out Nicky Butt´s opener with just 12 minutes remaining - his first goal for his new club.But Forssell drilled home a cross from Julian Gray in the 87th minute to move Steve Bruce´s side ahead of Portsmouth on goal difference.
