Wolverhampton Wanderers drew 2-2 with Birmingham City in a derby that was defined by César Peixoto's own goal. The Portuguese defender for Birmingham ended up scoring against his own team, contributing to the Wolves' temporary lead in the match.
With this result, the Wolverhampton side extends their winless run to two consecutive games in the Championship. After a sequence of negative results, the team has dropped out of the play-off zone for promotion to the Premier League.
Birmingham, for their part, secured an important point away from home in this regional derby. César Peixoto's own goal proved to be a decisive moment in the final outcome of the match.
The draw leaves both teams with reasons for concern, especially Wolverhampton, who see the possibility of fighting for a return to the English football elite temporarily slip away.
