The 34 year-old opened the scoring for the visitors on six minutes as he diverted a cross into his team's own net.

Smalling was sent off ten minutes after halftime after denying the opposition a goalscoring opportunity. He was shown a straight red card for his actions.

Al Fayha stay bottom with Al-Raed's first win of the campaign lifting them to eighth.
