For many it was a lame draw, but for Kevin Keegan, The 1-1 tie against the Birmingham City was another chance of survival in what could be his last season as the clubs spearhead. Nothing can be said in Keegan’s favour for the performance of the team over the last ten games has been more than woeful.
Had it not been Michael Owen at his fiery best, Keegan may have well been shown the door. A draw for the others, it was a sort of victory for Keegan, considering his stance at present. Michael Owen was himself under the scanner for he had to perform under the prying eyes of the England manager, Fabio Capello, in an attempt to book a place for the upcoming friendly against France, though a verdict on it was still not confirmed.
It was probably Owens luck which saved Keegan on this occasion as St. Andrews has been a happy hunting ground for him, having scored on each of his three visits. It was his 300th premiership start which means he did justice to his occasion by atleast driving the ball home once.
