Birmingham City make League One history and set to break elite EFL record
Birmingham City have continued their stunning League One season by making history during their 4-0 win over Mansfield Town. Keshi Anderson, Willum Willumsson, Kieran Dowell and Tomoki Iwata all scored in the Blues’ 32nd league victory of the campaign. Birmingham fans have witnessed more history this seasonGetty Birmingham were the first side in the EFL to earn promotion with six games to play before winning the league title. And now they have set a new League One record by reaching 105 points, which is two more than Wolves’ tally in the 2013/14 season. Chris Davies’ side could make even more history during their last two matches against Blackpool and Cambridge United. They need just two points to break Reading’s EFL record points tally of 106 in the 2005/06 Championship season. Birmingham are currently on an 11-game unbeaten streak in League One, with nine of those ending in victory. Only Charlton Athletic, Shrewsbury Town and Bolton Wanderers have beaten them across 44 matches. The Blues have sealed an instant return to the Championship after they finished 22nd last season. Wrexham will be joining them in the second tier for the 2025/26 campaign after they were promoted on Saturday night. Stockport County, Wycombe Wanderers and Charlton have all been confirmed as play-off hopefuls. Leyton Orient currently hold the final spot but they are level on 75 points with Reading and only ahead on goal difference. Birmingham’s win has seen them earn the most points in League OneGetty Birmingham have been heavily boosted by the arrival of American businessman Tom Wagner and NFL legend Tom Brady in 2023. The co-owners oversaw the signing of striker Jay Stansfield from Fulham for a League One transfer record that could reach £20million. Stansfield has scored 19 goals in the league this season and sits second behind Leyton Orient’s Charlie Kelman, who has 21. Birmingham spent around £30m on transfers this season and are now eyeing the ambitious task of another promotion. The Blues haven’t played in the Premier League since the 2010/11 campaign when they were relegated by finishing 18th. However, they could end a 15-year exile from the top flight with what would be another memorable season in the Championship.
