Neither Steve Cooper nor Thomas Frank were happy with the match officials after this draw. The former – Nottingham Forest’s manager – felt his team should not have been reduced to 10 men and the other was upset that his side were not awarded a penalty, to ramp up the pressure on referees after failings on Saturday.
Moussa Niakhaté kicked off nine minutes of drama on an otherwise sedate occasion when he was given a second yellow card for raking his studs down Yoane Wissa’s calf. This was soon followed by Christian Nørgaard and Nico Domínguez exchanging headed goals to ensure a fair draw.
