It was more than a decade (and 99 minutes) in the making but Demarai Gray’s first goal for Birmingham City at St Andrew’s since 2015 triggered wild celebrations at the grabbing of what could prove a vital point come the end of the season.<\/p>\n
With seconds of stoppage time remaining, and Blues staring down the barrel of a fourth defeat in five games, Gray hammered a goal in off the underside of the crossbar to secure a 2-2 draw with Sheffield Wednesday<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n It was the striker’s first goal in front of the home fans since another 2-2 draw against Blackburn Rovers in April 2015. <\/p>\n “Yeah it was good – it was one of those ones that was in slow motion,” Gray told BBC Radio WM. <\/p>\n “It was a bit frantic and obviously scoring a late equaliser there was a lot of emotion in it.<\/p>\n “I’m happy to get off the mark. It was a big moment and it got us a point.”<\/p>\n Gray started his career with Birmingham before moves to Leicester City, a spell in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen and a return to England at Everton.<\/p>\n He left Merseyside in September 2023 and has spent most of the past two years with Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq.<\/p>\n
