Birmingham set a new League One points record as they thrashed Mansfield to take their tally to 105 with two games remaining.


First-half goals from Keshi Anderson and Willum Willumsson, followed by second-half strikes from Kieran Dowell and Tomoki Iwata, saw Chris Davies' side surpass the previous best of 103 set by Wolves in 2013/14.


The League One champions now need two more points to equal Reading's all-time English top-flight record of 106, set in the 2005/06 Championship.


Birmingham took the lead in the 24th minute when Anderson and Willumsson worked a neat one-two on the edge of the area and the former fired low into Christy Pym's bottom corner.


Blues doubled their lead 16 minutes later when Alex Cochrane's cross found full-back Ethan Laird at the back post. Pym parried his powerful header but only for Willumsson to convert from seven yards.


The home side doubled their lead five minutes after the break when Dowell headed home Paik Seung-ho's left-wing cross, and it was 4-0 seven minutes later when Dowell's cheeky back-heel freed Iwata to slot home.
