Jiri Jarosik scored in the 36th minute for Birmingham to beat Bolton 1-0 and move out of the relegation zone in the English Premier League on Tuesday.
The Czech midfielder, who is on loan from Chelsea, evaded Jay-Jay Okocha to score with a left-footed shot past goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.
Birmingham moved up two places to 17th in the standings with 28 points, while Bolton stayed seventh with 48.
League leader Chelsea has 79 points, followed by Manchester United with 72 and Liverpool with 67. Sunderland is last with 11 points, while 19th-place Portsmouth and No. 18 West Bromwich Albion both have 27.
FA releases coach shortlist
The English Football Association (FA) have drawn up a shortlist of up to four names as they continue their search for a successor to Sven-Goran Eriksson as England coach, British media reported yesterday.
According to the BBC, all four potential candidates are British and include former Celtic boss Martin O'Neill, Middlesbrough's Steve McClaren, Bolton coach Sam Allardyce and Alan Curbishley of Charlton.
This would appear to rule out foreign coaches like PSV Eindhoven boss Guus Hiddink, Fabio Capello of Juventus and Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari.
The FA will apparently discuss the interview process yesterday.
Eriksson has already agreed to step down from the post after this summer's World Cup finals in Germany, which kick off on June 9, even though his original contract was due to run until 2008.
