Birmingham Jutkiewicz 64 1

Bristol City Rowe 83 1

-

LEE Johnson hailed the impact made by Kasey Palmer after the former Chelsea starlet inspired new-look Bristol City to get a point at Birmingham.

The 22-year-old set up Tommy Rowe’s equaliser to cancel out Lukas Jutkiewicz’s opener for Birmingham.

City boss Johnson said: ‘First and foremost I am most pleased that Kasey got 90 minutes.

‘That is his first 90 minutes probably in about 18 months, and for him to get through that is a big tick in the box and credit to him in terms of the fitness work that he and we have done with him.

‘To have him back and fit is great providing, like he did today, a lot of goals and assists.

‘He played two or three passes that Glenn Hoddle would have been proud of.’
