Marlon King's brace ensured Birmingham came from behind to rescue a late but deserved 2-1 victory over struggling Doncaster at St Andrew's.
The striker's cool 88th-minute finish completed the turnaround after a calamitous defensive mix-up involving Rovers goalkeeper Carl Ikeme and Herita Ilunga allowed King to draw Blues level just after the hour.
Rovers, whose surprise 1-0 win over leaders Southampton last weekend lifted them off the foot of the table, had taken the lead through Marc-Antoine Fortune's first goal since his recent loan move from West Brom shortly after the restart.
It was a fair result on the balance of play from what was an entertaining npower Championship clash, which could easily have contained more goals but for some wayward finishing.
Victory ended a four-match winless sequence for promotion-chasing City in all competitions - all of which have come away from home - and ensured manager Chris Hughton will celebrate his 53rd birthday on Sunday in style.
