Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp could not hide his anger after seeing his side give away a last-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Birmingham.
Jermain Defoe's 17th goal of the season had put the visitors ahead at St Andrew's but Liam Ridgewell scored in injury time to earn Birmingham a point from a game Spurs had dominated.
Redknapp said: "We deserved to win and the goal we gave away was horrendous. We defended poorly.
"Until we went ahead, Birmingham were never in the game but then we sat off them, invited them onto us and that was the problem."
Alex McLeish felt Ridgewell's goal was poetic justice after City had been beaten by a late goal when the sides met at White Hart Lane earlier in the season.
He said: "When we played them there they hit us with a sucker goal in the last minute against the run of play and we felt very sore about that.
"Today I am delighted at the way we grabbed a late goal and Harry is probably feeling the way I felt at their place."
Defoe broke the deadlock when he turned the ball home from close range after Peter Crouch had flicked on a cross from the impressive Gareth Bale.
But Ridgewell salvaged a point for City after a cross from James McFadden had been headed back across goal by Cameron Jerome. It means that City are now unbeaten in eight home games stretching back to September.
