Review
It just gets better. Even after going 1-0 down right before half-time, there still was no need to worry. Lewis Grabban had his best game of the season, hitting his tenth goal of the campaign (a penalty) before making a great run on the right and crossing to Brennan Johnson for his wonderful tap-in. The fist bumps from Cooper were deserved.
