The on-loan midfielder scored his second goal in three days to send Blues into the 2nd Round of the Carling Cup. "Thankfully, we were able to score with ten minutes to go and progress into the second round. "We were fortunate in that we had young Larsson in the side. He is always capable of scoring and the bonus for us is that he can play in so many different positions. "As the fans could see again young Nicklas Bendtner is a rare talent as he demonstrated by creating the goal. "Shrewsbury obviously enjoyed the encounter and they proved why they were unbeaten before they came to Birmingham."
"We should have scored in the opening 20 seconds but the longer the game went on the more difficult it was to score," Bruce said afterthe 1-0 win at St Andrew's on Tuesday night.
