Arsenal kept the pressure on the two Manchester clubs with an efficient win over struggling Birmingham.
The away side were on top right from the start and, after Robin Van Persie gave Arsene Wenger’s side the lead after twelve minutes, the Midlands club never looked like getting back into the game.
In what turned out to be a rather drab affair Arsenal doubled their lead midway through the second half, Samir Nasri scoring his 13th goal of the season before fine interplay between the Frenchman and Cesc Fabregas resulted in Birmingham defender Roger Johnson putting the ball into his own net.
