Mark Clattenburg delivers Jon Moss and Nottingham Forest play-off final penalty verdict

Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg does "not blame" referee Jon Moss for not awarding penalties against Nottingham Forest during the Championship play-off final against Huddersfield Town.

The Reds' opponents felt hard done to not be awarded a penalty late on at Wembley Stadium when both Harry Toffolo and Lewis O’Brien fell to the floor inside the 18-yard box ten minutes apart without receiving a decision. Toffolo instead received a yellow card after being adjudged to have dived with Jack Colback in attendance, while the O'Brien incident involving Max Lowe was ignored.

Video assistant referee Paul Tierney also did not overrule the on-field referee for either decision. Clattenburg believes that the second shout "did not look good" but stopped short of blaming the VAR official.
