Jol: "Baird lost his head"

Fulham manager Martin Jol has criticised utility player Chris Baird for giving away the penalty that led to Southampton's equaliser in Saturday's 1-1 draw.

Baird jumped with his arm at a corner, with Rickie Lambert scoring the resultant penalty, and Jol was far from pleased with the Northern Irishman's decision.

"It was a blatant handball and Chris Baird lost his head I think," BBC Sport quotes Jol as saying.

"He did it on purpose and there was no need for that five minutes from the end."

Fulham have now won just once in 11 Premier League games.
