Wolves striker Adam Armstrong missed a golden late chance to win the Championship derby, blazing over an open goal from 10 yards with three minutes remaining, as his side were held 2-2 by Birmingham. The draw meant Birmingham extended their unbeaten start to the season, twice coming from behind to deny their relegated neighbours a return to the automatic promotion places, in a match watched by returning Birmingham chairman Tom Wagner, back in the directors' box for the first time since suffering a stroke in February.

Fer López put Wolves ahead in the third minute before Jay Stansfield equalised for Birmingham, and Ladislav Krejci restored Wolves' lead just after the half-hour. Jackson Tchatchoua then turned a routine header into a bizarre own goal to level the scores before half-time, shifting the game's momentum. Despite chances at both ends, including efforts against the crossbar and a fine late save by Wolves goalkeeper José Sá from a Marvin Ducksch free-kick, the match finished 2-2.
