LON­DON – Ja­maica in­ter­na­tion­al Ja­mal Lowe scored his sixth goal of the Cham­pi­onship sea­son but Swansea City con­ced­ed deep in stop­page time at the end, to draw 2-2 with Birm­ing­ham City.

The 29-year-old six-foot­er net­ted in the 58th minute to give the vis­i­tors the lead on Sat­ur­day af­ter the game was dead­locked 1-1 at the break at St An­drew’s.

How­ev­er Jor­dan James, a 65th minute sub­sti­tute, scram­bled a point for the hosts in the fifth minute of in­jury time, in­ject­ing hope in­to their fran­tic bat­tle to avoid the rel­e­ga­tion zone fol­low­ing a dread­ful run of form.

Swansea led on 36 min­utes through Har­ry Dar­ling’s head­er but saw the lead can­celled out just two min­utes lat­er through Siri­ki Dem­bele’s clin­i­cal fin­ish.

Lowe, who joined Swansea on loan from Bournemouth last Sep­tem­ber, then put the Swans in front again when he found the tar­get cour­tesy of Josh Ty­mon’s cross, be­fore James dashed their hopes of full points.

Swansea are now 15th in the league while Birm­ing­ham re­main 20th.

In League One, Reg­gae Boy re­cruit De­vante Cole bagged his 15th goal of the cam­paign while Shaq Forde net­ted his sixth, as their re­spec­tive clubs reg­is­tered vic­to­ries.

Cole, the son of Man­ches­ter Unit­ed and Eng­land leg­end Andy Cole, laid the foun­da­tion for Barns­ley’s 2-1 win over Bris­tol Rovers with a 43rd minute strike at Oak­well.

The 28-year-old’s alert­ness proved crit­i­cal af­ter putting his head­er against the post fol­low­ing John McA­tee’s cross, but then stab­bing in the re­bound with the ’keep­er beat­en.

Chris Mar­tin equalised with a far cor­ner head­er in the 68th be­fore Corey O’Keefe pro­duced a close range fin­ish from an Adanm Phillips cross, to give Barns­ley the points.

At Frat­ton Park, Ley­ton Ori­ent in­flict­ed a sur­prise 3-0 drub­bing on lead­ers Portsmouth, with Forde get­ting on the score­sheet in the 30th minute.

The 19-year-old, the son of for­mer Bar­ba­dos in­ter­na­tion­al Fabi­an Forde, put the vis­i­tors ahead fol­low­ing a clever build-up be­fore Jor­dan Brown dou­bled the lead af­ter the Pom­pey de­fence failed to clear a loose ball.

And Ley­ton were up 3-0 at the break af­ter Dan Agyei head­ed in a cor­ner in stop­page time.
