Nuno Espírito Santo attempted to defend Evangelos Marinakis after the Nottingham Forest owner furiously confronted his manager on the pitch following the 2-2 draw with Leicester.
Gary Neville, the former England defender and Sky TV pundit, criticised Marinakis for his “scandalous” behaviour and suggested Nuno should be negotiating his departure from the club. The Forest manager confirmed the row concerned Taiwo Awoniyi’s inability to finish the game with full mobility after the substitute, who came on in the 83rd minute, had run into a post trying to score five minutes later.
