Wolves 1-1 Birmingham

Cameron Jerome
Jerome scored within minutes of coming on at half-time

Sylvan Ebanks-Blake's equaliser earned league leaders Wolves a point from an entertaining draw with Birmingham.

The visitors had the best of the first half, with only Richard Stearman's superbly-timed clearance preventing Marcus Bent putting Birmingham ahead.

Stearman let in Cameron Jerome to score minutes after coming on at half-time.

Ebanks-Blake scored from Stephen Ward's cross before Birmingham's Liam Ridgewell had a potential winner ruled out for handball in a frantic finish.
