Birmingham Triumphs, West Brom Stumbles: Championship Highlights
Summary
West Bromwich Albion faced Queens Park Rangers at The Hawthorns, managing to secure a 1-1 draw after coming from behind. Despite their efforts, they missed the chance to reclaim the top spot in the table following West Ham's resounding 6-0 victory over Wrexham on Friday.
- A Chris Mepham own goal in the 38th minute gave QPR an unexpected lead, but it was short-lived as Callum Styles equalized just three minutes later, extending West Brom’s unbeaten home streak to 11 matches.
The match saw West Brom controlling the chances, yet it was QPR who struck first. Kwame Poku set Rumarn Burrell free, who turned his marker and forced a diving save from Max O’Leary. The rebound inadvertently hit Mepham, resulting in an own goal.
Styles, playing out of position as a right-back, curled in a low shot from just outside the box to level the score.
In another match, Bolton Wanderers ended a four-game losing streak with a dramatic 1-0 win over Cardiff City. Substitute Thierry Gale scored the winner in the 90th minute, converting a left-wing cross from Theo Bair.
Meanwhile, Birmingham City clinched a 2-1 victory over Derby County at Pride Park. After Bobby Clark put Derby ahead, Carlos Vicente quickly equalized, and Paik Seung-ho netted the winner after a lengthy stoppage for what appeared to be a serious injury to Henrik Meister of Derby.
