Birmingham dominated every aspect of their Friday night game against Derby and got their reward thanks to goals from Jeremie Bela and Scott Hogan. Gary Bowyer's side are on the outskirts of the playoff places after winning three of their opening six league games. Fulham's unbeaten start to the season came to a frustrating end at the weekend as Josh Bowler's 49th-minute goal condemned them to a 1-0 defeat in a game in which they dominated the proceedings. That defeat drops Marco Silva's men below West Brom at the top of the table. 1:2
