However on the replay it showed the full-back looked to have tripped over his own feet.[LNB]Alexander stepped up and fired the spot-kick into the bottom corner past Matt Duke's right arm on 20 minutes.[LNB]Geovanni looked to have equalised for the visitors with a curling free-kick, however referee Mike Jones disallowed it for an infringement in the wall.[LNB]The midfielder talked his way into the book as a result and moments later saw red for a late challenge on Steven Fletcher. Alexander added his second of the game with a low drive past Duke.[LNB]
