Birmingham City striker Nikola Zigic headed Birmingham in front on the 28 minutes, but Robin Van Persie equalized the score with a fine volley.
It was Arsenal who dominated the second half and played a very calculated football but all of their efforts were saved by blues goal keeper Ben Foster. And in the last minute of the second half a mistake by reds defender and goalkeeper was very well cashed by on loan striker Martins which gives blues the glory they deserved.
