Martins: Birmingham pals prevented me from flipping out!

Birmingham City matchwinner Obafemi Martins wanted to flip out after his goal in their Carling Cup triumph over Arsenal.

Martins called his winner 'the easiest goal of his career'. He came off the bench to notch an 89th-minute goal.

But the Nigerian was not totally happy as he wanted to do more flips in celebration.

He said: "I'm very happy. We really did well and I'm happy for the fans. I don't want to be a hero, I just want to play and score.

"I wanted to do more flips but my team-mates were so close I didn't want to hurt anyone!"
