Birmingham cruised to a 4-0 victory over Cheltenham in their latest pre-season friendly at Whaddon Road.

The Premier League newcomers made a flying start as Sebastian Larsson's pass allowed Garry O'Connor to lash home the opener from 20 yards.

Larsson then double the Blues' lead just before the half-hour mark having previously struck the woodwork with a free-kick.

The third goal followed just two minutes later as Kevin Phillips volleyed home before trialist Albert Fataki added a late fourth.
