Nottingham Forest defender Steve Cook made a point of thanking Jon Moss and VAR after his side beat Huddersfield Town in the Championship play-off final.
Forest won 1-0 at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon to return to the Premier League for the first time in 23 years. Levi Colwill's own goal from James Garner's cross was enough for Steve Cooper’s side to complete a remarkable campaign in style and bank a mammoth £170million .
Their victory was far from straightforward, however, with Huddersfield seeing two penalty appeals waved away by Moss, who was officiating his final match before retirement. Moss is an experienced official, but his decision-making – and the lack of intervention by VAR – was extremely controversial in the match.
