Richard Keys slams Nottingham Forest decision and sends warning

Richard Keys believes Nottingham Forest defender Scott McKenna should have been sent off against West Ham on Sunday.

The pundit insisted "those are the laws of the game", while saying Steve Cooper's men will not get through any more games with the amount of "luck" they had at the City Ground in their first home game.

"On another day, West Ham win that 4-1," he said on beIN Sports after the Forest win. "They will not get through any more games this season with the amount of luck that they had today. So be warned. But enjoy it, in the sunshine, great win.

"They cannot get through another game with that amount of good fortune. They just can't.

"Don't tell me that they put West Ham to bed there, because they haven't. They've had a lion's share of good fortune, including finishing with 11 because they should have gone down to 10 when the ball was handled for the penalty.

"It's in the laws of the game. If you deny a goalscoring opportunity, or stop a goal being scored with your hand, it's a red card. It doesn't matter if the goalkeeper is behind or otherwise, those are the laws of the game."
