Birmingham City produced a second-half comeback to avoid an FA Cup third-round upset with a 2-1 win at Forest Green Rovers.

Goals from Lukas Jutkiewicz and Kevin Long sent Championship side Birmingham through despite a scare from League One’s bottom club.

A Ben Stevenson stunner after seven minutes put Rovers in front but Blues fought back to reach the fourth round.

The victory sets up a clash with Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.
