Birmingham City clinched the League One title in record-breaking fashion, securing a 2-0 victory over Blackpool to become the Football League’s highest points scorers in a single season. The Blues entered the match knowing that a win would take them past the long-standing record of 106 points, previously set by Reading in the 2005-06 Championship season. Goals from Jay Stansfield and Juninho Bacuna sealed the historic triumph, taking Birmingham to 107 points and capping off a dominant campaign.
The Blues showcased their quality from the outset, controlling possession and creating multiple chances. Stansfield opened the scoring in the 27th minute with a composed finish after a slick team move. Bacuna doubled the lead just before halftime, curling a fine effort into the top corner to put the game beyond doubt. Blackpool struggled to respond, as Birmingham’s defence remained resolute throughout.
Manager Tony Mowbray, who took charge midway through the season, praised his squad’s consistency, character, and attacking flair. With promotion to the Championship already secured weeks earlier, the focus shifted to cementing their legacy — a goal now emphatically achieved. Birmingham City’s relentless drive and record points tally mark one of the most impressive seasons in Football League history.
