Gary Lineker agrees with Steve Cooper after Nottingham Forest controversy

Gary Lineker has criticised the handball rule after Nottingham Forest's defeat to Wolves on Saturday.

Wolves scored the only goal of the Premier League game from a penalty in the second half, which was awarded when Harry Toffolo was ajudged to have handled from an Adama Traore shot. Forest's later appeals for a penalty of their own were waved away when Neco Williams' strike hit Toti Gomes before going out of play.

While Match of the Day pundits Jermaine Jenas and Ashley Williams thought the referee got both decisions correct, Lineker was not so convinced. He made his thoughts clear on the rule, suggesting Forest were hard done by when Wolves were given their penalty.
