Birmingham fans pitch invade at St Andrews and clash with stewards

Birmingham City fans clashed with stewards after their relegation to League One was sealed despite a 1-0 win against Norwich.

Paik Seung-ho netted in a second-half goal to give the club a glimmer of hope in their bid to escape the drop on the final day of the season.
