Goals from David Wheater and England winger Stewart Downing gave Middlesbrough a deserved 2-0 victory over Birmingham at the Riverside, bringing up a landmark 1,500th league win.
Wheater headed home Andrew Taylor's cross after just 12 minutes and Downing doubled the lead from close range nine minutes before the interval.
Strangely for a side normally so well-organised by Steve Bruce, Birmingham had little to offer in terms of resistance, but having not won on Teesside for 27 years, the result was probably no surprise.
Boro manager Gareth Southgate had praised his players after their 2-2 draw with Newcastle last weekend and he kept faith with the same players, while Sebastian Larsson for Gary McSheffrey was the only Birmingham change from their first league win of the season at Derby.
