Nottingham Forest boss Warren Joyce fumes at 'poor' penalty decision in defeat to Man United

Boss Warren Joyce was left fuming at a penalty decision which proved crucial as Nottingham Forest Under-18s lost to Manchester United in their first ever FA Youth Cup final.

The Reds had come from behind at Old Trafford, to draw level through Josh Powell just before the break. But there was controversy in the second half when referee Josh Smith pointed to the spot with 15 minutes to go.

Zach Abbott was judged to have tripped Alejandro Garnacho. And although replays showed the foul clearly took place outside of the box, the United man converted from 12 yards to make it 2-1. He then added a second in added time to wrap up the victory in front of a record crowd.
