Krystian Bielik, who made his long-awaited return to action following an anterior cruciate ligament injury, was the hero as he rescued a point for Derby County in the fifth minute of additional time as the Rams drew 2-2 with Birmingham City.
In front of a vocal capacity crowd at Pride Park Stadium, the Rams closed the gap on teams around them to seven points as Bielik’s dramatic last gasp leveller secured a point.
Luke Plange had reduced the deficit as Derby trailed heading into the final minutes of the game but Derby once again showed incredible courage to fight back and earn a share of the spoils.
Lyle Taylor had put Birmingham ahead early in the game as he found the bottom corner from close range, whilst Scott Hogan doubled their advantage early in the second half.
But, Plange and Bielik’s acrobatic strike secured a point as the Rams extended their unbeaten home form to four games.
