We deserved to win - Hughton

Birmingham manager Chris Hughton felt his side were good value for their 3-1 win over Burnley - despite riding their luck at times.

City went 1-0 up after Marlon King scored his 16th goal of the season, but Burnley put the Blues under intense second-half pressure. Charlie Austin and Danny Ings both hit the crossbar before Ings equalised, only for Jordon Mutch to put Hughton's side immediately back ahead. David Murphy sealed the win at the death to leave Birmingham clear in fourth place and in a strong position in the play-off chase. "I thought over the 90 minutes we just deserved it," said Hughton. "We had to ride our luck a little bit. In the first half I thought we were good but you're up against a team that are playing at home. "At 1-1, they had a period before that where I suppose some people watching the game would have thought it (the equaliser) was coming, but we showed great character to get that second goal and I think that was very much the turning point of the game."
