Birmingham City 4-0 Cambridge United: Blues Stretch Lead at the top of the First League with Victory – BBC.com

Birmingham extended its lead at the top of League 1 to seven points with a one -sided 4-0 win over the lateral side of the Cambridge basement.

Jay Stansfield gave Birmingham a lead from the place of the 23rd minute with his 19th goal of the season in all competitions. He came after the hosts won a hot -contested punishment when James Broofi pushed Ethan Laard.

It was 2-0 when Liam Bennett cut the ball past his own goalkeeper Nathan Bishop 39 minutes from Keshi Anderson’s waist.

Kieran Dowel made 3-0 in the 40th minute, returning home after Anderson maneuvers the square passage of Stansfield.

Stansfield won a second penalty in the 57th minute when he was pressed by Ben Stevenson, but Bishop blocked his efforts, completing his perfect record this season, scoring his first seven spots.

Deputy Luke Harris threw the fourth goal of 20 yards at home, with 10 minutes left after former city defender Michael Morrison looked at Scott Wright’s cross.

It was the biggest victory in the Urban League, as they won by 6-1 in December 2014 and extended their invincible running in League 1 to 14 games.
