    In a clash of two unbeaten sides in League One, Birmingham beat Wrexham 3-1 thanks to a brace from Jay Stansfield and a brilliant long-range goal from Tomoki Iwata.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Mullin and Cochrane's clash appeared to spark a more febrile atmosphere inside St Andrew's and quickly afterwards, Krystian Bielik was sent off for a second yellow card after a lunging tackle. Cochrane has now revealed that he has no idea what was going on after he was fouled, and has claimed it was simply a nonsensical incident.

  • WHAT COCHRANE SAID

    Cochrane told Sky after the game: "I don't really know to be honest, I was on the floor. I think it was just a bit of handbags, out of nothing, but not too much. Just a load of nonsense, really!"
