Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sat, 03/20/2010 - 23:04

Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish praised Sunderland goalkeeper Craig Gordon after defeat.

McLeish, who worked with Gordon during his time as Scotland manager, was left to bemoan the £9million man's contribution.

He said: "He was outstanding. He was every inch an international goalkeeper today.

"He made some fantastic saves, as did Joe Hart in the first half - Kieran Richardson could have had us dead and buried.

"If Sunderland has gone three up, it would have been hard for us, but at 2-0, you have always got a chance."
