A Phillips double helped Birmingham beat Swansea

Swansea 2 - Birmingham 3 (Championship, November 21, 2008) Jordi Gomez opened the scoring for the Swans after just two minutes, only for Marcus Bent to equalise in the 42nd minute. A Radhi Jaidi own goal restored the Swans’ advantage just before halftime, but Kevin Phillips came off the bench to score twice with a header and then a right-foot curler to seal the points for the Midlanders.
