Millar Leads Birmingham to Dominant Victory Over QPR

Birmingham City continued their impressive run in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday, securing a commanding 3-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers at St Andrew's. The result, witnessed by chairman Tom Wagner, keeps the Blues firmly in the hunt at the top of the league table, marking their third consecutive clean sheet.

Liam Millar proved to be the difference-maker for manager Chris Davies, opening the scoring in the 27th minute after being set up by Tomoki Iwata. The winger, who has been in stellar form, doubled the lead shortly after the halftime interval, once again benefiting from the creative play of Iwata. His clinical performance has solidified his reputation as a vital asset for the club this season.

While QPR had an early opportunity to take the lead through Boy Kemper, they were unable to capitalize on their chances. Birmingham’s defense, anchored by captain Christoph Klarer, remained resolute throughout the match, effectively neutralizing the visitors' attempts to get back into the game.

In the final moments of stoppage time, substitute Demarai Gray added a third goal to cap off a statement performance. Gray hammered a pull-back from Luis Vazquez into the top corner, ensuring a comfortable finish for the home side. The win moves Birmingham to 20 points from 11 matches, reinforcing their status as serious contenders in the division.
