Blues leapfrogged the Potters in the Championship table after securing the victory and remain a point behind city rivals Aston Villa.

Che Adams was the hero for Birmingham after he stabbed home a Lukas Jutkiewicz cross with nine minutes remaining.

Monk said: "What a huge three points considering who we're playing, away from home against one of the best squads in the league and very much fancied for promotion.

"The lads deserved it for a real gutsy display."
