Birmingham late show stuns Blackburn at home
Birmingham City picked up its first win back in the EFL Championship after leaving it late to stun Blackburn Rovers 2-1 at Ewood Park.
Having conceded a late equaliser in its opening match in the second tier against Ipswich Town, Chris Davies' side scored twice in eight minutes to emerge victorious.
After a quiet first-half, Todd Cantwell put Rovers ahead in the 50th minute, volleying home an effort after a corner had been cleared away by Birmingham.
With the hosts looking set for victory, Ethan Laird was brought down in the box in the 90th minute, winning the visitors a penalty, which was calmly converted by Jay Stansfield.
The Blues then snatched all three points eight minutes into second-half stoppage-time, with Demari Gray picking out Lyndon Dykes, who steered the ball beyond Balazs Toth.
