Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper has his say on controversial decisions in Brentford draw

Penalty decisions given and not given left Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper frustrated after his side’s 2-2 draw against Brentford.

The Reds went ahead at the City Ground through a brilliant solo effort from Morgan Gibbs-White, but had two penalty appeals turned down in the first half. And their frustration was only compounded when the visitors were awarded a spot-kick shortly before the interval.

After a lengthy VAR stoppage, referee Andre Marriner went to his pitchside monitor to review Dean Henderson coming out to close down Yoane Wissa. The Forest goalkeeper clearly got a hand to the ball first, while contact seemed to be minimal between his glove and the player’s shin, but the decision was given in the Bees’ favour and Bryan Mbeumo converted from 12 yards.
