Premier League round-up:Birmingham leapfrogged above Liverpool into seventh place in the Premier League standings thanks to a 1-0 win at Stoke. Cameron Jerome grabbed the only goal of the game five minutes after the break, bundling the ball home from three yards out.

Everton also triumphed 2-0, with James Vaughan scoring seven minutes from time against 10-man Burnley to send the hosts to their first win in two months.

Steven Pienaar then grabbed a late second. Stephen Jordan was sent off shortly after the hour mark when he picked up a second yellow card for pulling back Pienaar.

Elsewhere, Blackburn and Sunderland played out a 2-2 draw at Ewood Park.

The game erupted into life in the 52nd minute when Darren Bent stubbed home the opener, but Rovers responded by drawing level inside a minute, Morten Gamst Pedersen cutting in and drilling a low shot in off the post past Marton Fulop.

The visitors regained the lead against the run of play in the 65th minute when Jordan Henderson’s punt forward sent Bent clear to slide a cool finish across Paul Robinson and into the net for his 13th goal of the season.

However, El-Hadji Diouf salvaged a point for Blackburn with a header 13 minutes from time, just three minutes after coming off the bench.
