Wolves debrief: Lopez shines, Tchatchoua struggles in 2-2 at Birmingham | OneFootball

Wolves’ 2-2 draw at Birmingham City on Sunday showcased exhilarating highs and costly lows. According to ExpressAndStar.com, César Peixoto’s side thrilled going forward again, but fragility and errors persisted.

Fer Lopez opened the scoring, finishing from Rodrigo Gomes’ pass, before the winger spurned a chance to make it 2-0.

Before last night’s fixtures, no Championship side had scored more, and only rock-bottom Burnley had conceded more. Returning Czechia captain Ladislav Krejci could not instantly halt an average of two against, but his authority should help. He also headed Wolves’ second.

Jackson Tchatchoua, signed in 2025, has struggled. Promoted from understudy to Kieran Trippier after only a few outings, he put through his own net. For player and team, a spell out of the line-up now looks the only sensible call.

Peixoto’s bold claim that Lopez is the Championship’s best is looking less fanciful. Signed from Celta Vigo for £19 million last summer then loaned back for the second half, he has returned transformed, with four goals in seven.

Peixoto finally has a left-footed right winger in Bertrand Traore, formerly of Aston Villa and Sunderland. After a pre-season and more without a club, he will need time, but offers a different threat and competition for Gomes. The three-week international break should let him settle and stake a claim, while Gomes remains exciting but raw.
