  WHAT HAPPENED?

  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. After Mullin's introduction as a second-half substitute, Cochrane attempted to tackle him and sent him sprawling to the turf. There, Mullin seemed to stop himself from biting his opponent.

  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!"
