00:00He's going to go for it, he's going to take it, he's going to run, and he's going to play it.

00:09Yes, Stansfield, he chases it down, but it was very well watched there by Christoph Klerer.

00:13Yes, great cover from the centre-half, there is a space in behind Ethan Laird,

00:16because he's looking to get forward as much as possible, the right-back,

00:18so there is a space to exploit, that's what Sessignon was trying to do,

00:21playing it into that space for Stansfield,

00:23but the centre-half did the right thing, round on the cover,

00:26great sliding challenge, well timed.

00:30Out to Reid, back to Wilson.

00:39Now he's waiting for Kearney, penalty.

00:45Well, the referee spotted a handball, very quick to make his decision there, Andy.

00:49Well, it's really well worked from Fulham, just to open that space for Kearney

00:52on the edge of the box, but it's pretty clear from Keith Stroud,

00:54the way he's gesturing there, he feels that the defender has put his arms out

00:58to save this.

01:01You can see his arm is actually away from his body,

01:03he might have turned his head, but his arm is still away from his body,

01:05you've got to keep it closer than that.

01:08The arm does stop the ball going towards the target,

01:10so Keith Stroud, I think he's right, but it's clever.

01:13Kimenez scores!

01:31Well, it was a precise penalty, he did exactly what he needed to do,

01:35and Fulham are ahead.

01:37Yeah, really frustrating for Birmingham, they made a positive start,

01:39they got the ball forward, but one error from the Premier League side

01:42will punish you.

01:44It's a long run-up, but he just stutters, he slightly delays

01:47before he takes the ball, before he strikes it,

01:49and then the keeper moves, and he tucks the ball in the other corner,

01:52really composed penalty from Kimenez.

02:05Well, we had mentioned, Andy, before this game had kicked off,

02:08about the amount of changes that Fulham had made,

02:10but plenty of experience, and here is Stansfield,

02:14who will try and make the most of that experience, and look at that!

02:19Jay Stansfield scores against the club he spent last season on loan.

02:27He was their top scorer, today he is in the opposing camp,

02:32and he makes it 2-0 for Fulham.

02:34Well, it looked as if he'd overcomplicated the chance

02:36by going back onto his right foot, but it's an unerring finish,

02:39but defensively, this is a dreadful goal to give away.

02:42You see, Ethan Laird is worried about Sessegnon,

02:44Sessegnon's not the danger, you've got a centre-forward

02:47on your left shoulder, there's no pressure on the ball,

02:49so the centre-halves have to drop, the full-back has to get around

02:52on the cover, it's just basic, it's too, too easy for Stansfield

02:55to get in, and he comes back onto his right foot,

02:58I thought he might have a problem, so you've got a recovering

03:00centre-half there, but finishes it quite brilliantly.

03:07FANS SHOUT OUT

03:13Alfie Mae.

03:19Well, it was always going to be a big ask from that distance.

03:25You wouldn't put it past him, though.

03:27I still think he should really be scoring.

03:29I know it is a long way out, the pass from Alfie Mae is a dreadful one,

03:32square across his defence, picked up, the keeper is halfway...

03:36..inside his own half.

03:51Trying to chase it down.

03:55A little bit late there by Cuenca.

03:57Not sure how much contact there was, Alfie Mae was a poor touch,

04:00the ball got away from him, the centre-halves in control

04:02of the situation.

04:05FANS SHOUT OUT

04:11Just about.

04:13Skins the top.

04:18I think Bender actually just gets a touch on this,

04:20he shouldn't really score from this position,

04:22because the keeper has a good view of it, he's in a good position,

04:25and just feels he has to help it on its way.

04:29And there again.

04:32Take.

04:34Looking over for Anderson, the hand is there!

04:39How did that stay out?

04:41Well, it stayed out because of Timothy Castagne,

04:43unbelievable defensive awareness.

04:46He's on the other side of the pitch to where the play is,

04:48but he's got round on the cover.

04:51He's got round to protect the target, he appreciates the danger.

04:54Sensational clearance.

04:56There'll be many full-backs, he just wouldn't bother,

04:58it's not my job to get back and clear it off the line,

05:00it is, and he did it brilliantly.

05:14It's a cross in, and Jimenez...

05:18..didn't get the strike he wanted.

05:21Stansfield.

05:23Still a chance, and just wide.

05:25Alex Cochran trying to head this ball back,

05:27I presume to his goalkeeper, it gets red.

05:30It's Bielik eventually, he just gets his boot on it,

05:32he could have scored an own goal.

05:34The situation they should be dealing with.

05:36There's the header back, so poor.

05:38Bielik does well, he just has to react,

05:40stick out a boot, could have turned it into his own,

05:42it has to do something.

05:44Unfortunately it's gone past the post and not in the net.

05:51Anderson trying to get the ball back,

05:54Anderson trying to find a way through,

05:56he gets fouled.

05:58Just on the edge.

06:00I'm not sure he is fouled, I feel the ball has got away from him,

06:02and he runs into the defender,

06:04who doesn't seem to do anything, Koenke.

06:06It's a clever turn, but he's not fouled,

06:08he's simply not fouled.

06:10Koenke doesn't step into him, doesn't try and play the ball,

06:12he realises it's been overrun.

06:15I think Anderson makes the very most of that,

06:17but this is an opportunity, the free kick's been given,

06:19make the most of it.

06:24It's OK, boys.

06:28It will be Willemsen, oh!

06:32Well, it was a brilliant strike,

06:34hit the woodwork.

06:37Well, he backs himself to pick out the top corner,

06:39just puts too much on it.

06:42Six inches lower, hits the bar and probably goes in.

06:45There's so much power on it.

06:49Kastanien.

06:53Reid.

06:56Out of Wilson.

06:58Wilson!
