Jay Stansfield described reaching a half century of goals for Birmingham City as an "amazing feeling" after his dramatic late winner secured victory over Swansea City.

The striker brought up his 50th and 51st goals for Blues as a 2-1 win sent Chris Davies' side to the top of the table.

And for Stansfield, who has spoken previously about his strong connection with the club, the occasion was made even more special by the manner of the winning goal and the celebrations that followed.

“It's an amazing feeling. Like I've said many times, this place means so much to me, so hopefully I can score many more in years to come,” he said.

“I put everything in every day to do my best for myself but also for this football club.

“To score the winner like that is a feeling I've not experienced before here. To get a last-minute winner in such a big game to put us top of the league is a good feeling.

“It's been a brilliant week for us with three games and three wins.”

Blues have enjoyed an encouraging spell of form, with Stansfield believing the togetherness within the group and a shared understanding of what is required are helping the team to express themselves on the pitch.

“The team are all on one page, we all know what we've got to do, and everyone is enjoying it," he said.

“If you enjoy it, you can go out and express yourself and that's what we're doing at the moment.

“Since I've been here, we've been through ups and downs, but hopefully this is the start of something special and we can really kick on now.

“But it's still so early on in the season, anything can happen. We know what we've got to do and what we've got to work on.

“Everyone is engaged in that and we're working hard to make sure we can become a top team.”
