Hull City ended Birmingham's impressive 29-match unbeaten home run with a dramatic 3-2 victory at St. Andrew's. The match was tense and action-packed, with Hull becoming the first team to secure three points there since April last year. A pivotal moment came when Birmingham's defender Jack Robinson was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for dissent just before the 60th minute. Hull took an early lead in the 11th minute through Kyle Joseph, assisted by Oli McBurnie, but Birmingham equalized in the 27th minute with Jay Stansfield's fifth goal of the season. Despite Birmingham's efforts to level the score after Robinson's dismissal, Hull extended their lead with a late goal from Joe Gelhardt. Stansfield reduced the deficit in the final seconds, but it wasn't enough to prevent Birmingham's first home loss in a long time. Hull's tactical discipline and resilience were key to their victory, providing a significant boost for manager Sergei Jakirovic's team in upcoming matches.
