Birmingham City came away from The Hawthorns with all three points on Saturday, 10 October 2026, edging out West Brom 0-1 in a tight Championship clash. The visitors had the better of things early on and made it count, going in at the break already 0-1 up. West Brom huffed and puffed after the restart but just couldn't find a way through, and the longer the game went on, the more that single goal felt like it would be enough. It proved exactly that. A result like this matters more than it might look on paper - Birmingham keep themselves ticking along nicely, while West Brom will be frustrated to have let a home game slip without so much as a goal to show for it. The Hawthorns crowd went home disappointed, and there'll be some soul-searching before the next fixture comes around.
