Paik Header Seals Birmingham's 2-1 Comeback at Pride Park

Millar supplied both assists as Derby face uncertainty over Henrik Meister's serious injury

Overview

  • Derby took the lead through Bobby Clark before Carlos Vicente equalised and Paik Seung-ho headed the winner to complete Birmingham's 2-1 comeback at Pride Park on Saturday.
  • Liam Millar was the creative hub for Birmingham, providing two precise deliveries that set up Vicente's equaliser and Paik's decisive header.
  • Play was halted early in the second half for around seven minutes after Derby forward Henrik Meister suffered a worrying injury and was taken off on a stretcher with further medical updates awaited.
  • The finish included late drama when Luis Vazquez blasted an open net in the 89th minute and Christoph Klarer made a stoppage-time goal-line clearance to preserve the three points.
  • The win is Birmingham's second from seven league games and hands Derby their fifth defeat of the season, a run that could increase scrutiny of the Rams' form and squad decisions.
