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.

Vamos la puta madre todo punto suma .. vamo que se puede.. vamos derby
United fan here ….. So happy to see Rooney doing a great job
We have all heard of Fergie time, from now on minute 70 onwards is to be known as Rooney Time.
Wow.
After Birmingham's second goal, it was past my bedtime, so I went to sleep thinking the loss of Jags was the turning point of the season.
The fight goes on.
As a Middlesbrough supporter, I'm hoping for Derby to survive and beat the drop
Go Derby!!
I hope all of you that live in the area fill the stadium every time, this team deserves our best support.

Anyone know why there’s no Rams TV commentary on these?
Derby keeper was awful?
There are games when a team’s incessant time wasting counts against them, this was one of those games.

Jeez, the chills on my soul after seeing that last goal

Happy for Rams. But honestly should have been disallowed for offside on the cross or dangerous high kick on scorer
What a day that was, just when we thought all was lost our boys pulled one out of the hat, two beautiful goals!
Goosebumps! Derby lass here! Proper buzzing COYR ❤️❤️
5 minutes? Your highlights are shocking! 15-20 mins at least is needed.
Bielik ☝️☝️☝️
What a game this was! If Rooney can manage to keep Derby up, can he pleased be known as Big Roo? .
is plange any good asking as a palace fan?
Wow 2-2 in last min. What a game!!
🔴🔵🦅
There's an old-fashioned quality about Rooney. His loyalty has won many fans. His football i.q would be considerable given all his experience at the highest level. I see a thirst for the contest that he has instilled in his players. This is a great time to be a Derby fan. The story continues to be fascinating and dramatic. Who knows eh folks…? ⚽🐏
That equalizer sounded so sweetly familiar 🙂
Go, lads, Moscow are in.
I dont think Stearman was offside for the equaliser, Gardner was playing him on.
