Birmingham City Sets New EFL Points Record

Birmingham City have set a new English Football League (EFL) points record by reaching 108 points after defeating Blackpool 2-0, surpassing Reading's 106-point record from the 2005-06 season. Goals from Ethan Laird and Alfie May secured their 33rd win and a club record for away victories. Following a recent relegation, the club was acquired by American investors including Tom Brady and quickly returned to the Championship. Under manager Chris Davies, Birmingham have excelled both offensively and defensively, and Davies highlighted the extraordinary consistency needed across a demanding 60-game season. With one match remaining against Cambridge United, Birmingham could extend their record to 111 points. The achievement has received widespread praise from former managers and the new ownership group.
