Hollywood-backed Wrexham and NFL legend Tom Brady's Birmingham shared the points as a 1-1 draw on Friday did little for either side's dreams of promotion to the Premier League.

Wrexham, co-owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, have enjoyed a meteoric rise with three consecutive promotions to reach the second tier of English football.

Seven-time Super Bowl winner Brady owns a minority stake in Birmingham, who beat Wrexham to win the League One title last season.

However, both teams are finding the step up to the Championship tough.

Birmingham sit 11th after just one win in six league games but are still two points better off than Wrexham in 14th.

The Blues bounced back to salvage a point after falling behind to George Dobson's header from a Wrexham corner.

Birmingham levelled just 25 seconds into the second period when Patrick Roberts latched onto Jay Stansfield's pass to fire into the far corner.
