Nottingham Forest were infuriated by referee Paul Tierney on Friday night, but pundits have suggested the Reds were fortunate with one particular decision against Newcastle United.
The Forest hierarchy are understood to have been fuming over a foul not being given for a challenge on Andre Ayew prior to Alexander Isak’s equaliser at the City Ground. Emmanuel Dennis had opened the scoring for the hosts, but they were pegged back in added time in the first half.
Isak went on to net the winner from the penalty spot right at the death, following a handball by Moussa Niakhate. However, the Reds had already received a let-off before that, when Elliot Anderson had a header ruled out.
