Nottingham Forest 0-1 Fulham: Talking point

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo would not be really be drawn on the key moment which settled this defeat to Forest.

"There's no intention at all, but most penalties are not intentional," was the most the Nuno would say on the incident.

From a Forest perspective, it seemed a harsh call from referee John Brooks to award a penalty on the basis that Murillo had scraped his studs along the back of Andreas Pereira’s calf.

Pereira certainly made the most of any contact from Murillo, rather theatrically throwing himself to the turf.

What was more frustrating was the fact Forest did not get a look in when their players went to ground in the opposition box.

There were incidents involving Anthony Elanga and Taiwo Awoniyi, but unlike the Pereira penalty the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) did not encourage referee Brooks to take another look.

Forest fans will rightly wonder why, if he was not sure on the Pereira incident, he was so unequivocal on those two.
