League One champions Birmingham City broke the Football League record for most points in a season with a comfortable 2-0 victory at Blackpool.

Goals from Ethan Laird and Alfie May ensured Blues moved on to 108 points for the campaign and beat Reading's 2005-06 Championship haul of 106 with a game to spare.

Birmingham, who had surpassed Wolves' record third-tier tally of 103 last weekend, can finish the season on 111 points with a win at relegated Cambridge United in their final match on Saturday.

The victory was City's 33rd league win of the season and they have now won 14 away matches, bettering the previous club best mark of 13 established in 1984-85.

Despite joyously celebrating their first record on Sunday in front of their own fans at St Andrew's, Birmingham never looked like suffering a hangover against their former gaffer Steve Bruce.

Goalkeeper Harry Tyrer denied Willum Willumsson and Laird before the latter headed the visitors in front after 39 minutes from Marc Leonard's in-swinging corner.

May doubled the advantage with his 17th goal of the season six minutes after the restart to seal victory.

Birmingham City boss Chris Davies:

"I have spoken to the players about the legacy we could leave this season and the mark we could make in the footballing world.

"I have been drumming it into them, to chase a record like this isn't a club record, not something that people will brush over. Everyone will know in the next 24 hours what we have done.

"To achieve 108 points is truly special and a remarkable achievement. I said to the players just make sure you sit back, think about, reflect and understand what it takes to do that.

"Think how many football teams there have been, how many seasons there have been. And we are the team that have got the most points in the history of English football.

"I am so proud of them all. Not only have we broken the record but we have achieved it by having to play, I believe, more games in England or Scotland than anyone else."

Blackpool boss and former Blues manager Steve Bruce:

"Overall, there was a gulf. They have got far better players all over the pitch than most of us have got. You could see why they had won the league by 20 odd points.

"They are well organised, well coached, well disciplined. I predicted it five or six months ago they would win by 20 points and they have got record totals.

"They remind me of the really good Wolves side that was in the Championship a few years ago.

"Congratulations to Birmingham. It is a club I have a big fondness for. They are an excellent football team and we found it very difficult.

"In the first half, in particular, we didn't make it very difficult for them. In the second we made a mistake but were better."
