Lukas Jutkiewicz's 50th league goal for Birmingham helped put Lee Bowyer's side another step closer to Sky Bet Championship safety after a 2-0 win against Stoke at St Andrew's. The 32-year-old striker's brace made it 10 points in five games under the former Charlton manager since he replaced Aitor Karanka. But Stoke returned to the attack and with Blues poor in possession, began to assert some control on the game. Then Blues - and captain Harlee Dean in particular - breathed a sigh of relief in the 28th minute when Stoke had an effort ruled out. Stoke missed another chance when Rhys Norrington-Davies headed wide from Tommy Smith's cross from six yards out.
