BLUES TAKE A TUMBLE

BIRMINGHAM fans turned on chairman David Gold and co-owner David Sullivan as their side's relegation from the Barclays Premier League was confirmed despite substitute Cameron Jerome's late double against Blackburn.

Chants of the "the board must go" were aimed towards the director's box once it became clear there was going to be no last day of the season Houdini act for Alex McLeish's side.

ROQUE Santa Cruz's 21st goal of the season virtually ended Portsmouth's chase for fifth place in the Premier League.

After a delightful one-two with Jason Roberts in the 73rd minute, Blackburn's Paraguayan striker claimed his sixth goal in the last seven games.

CARLOS TEVEZ kept United on course for the title with a late, late equaliser.

Alex Ferguson's men looked set to concede the initiative to Chelsea in the battle for the Premier League crown following Roque Santa Cruz's first-half strike.

But after laying siege to the Blackburn goal, United finally made the breakthrough when Argie striker Tevez headed home after Paul Scholes flicked on Nani's corner in the 88th minute.

FERNANDO Torres became the first Liverpool player to score in seven consecutive home league games as Rafael Benitez's side easily overcame Blackburn.

Torres scored his 30th goal of the campaign in his debut season at Anfield and was joined on the scoresheet by Steven Gerrard-with his 21st of the season and Andriy Voronin.
