Former Nottingham forest midfielder Roy Keane has responded to Steve Cooper’s claim that his side should have had a penalty in the first half of the game against Manchester United.
Forest’s calls for a handball were waved away by referee Simon Hooper after the ball appeared to hit United defender Harry Maguire’s arm as he challenged in the air. A subsequent VAR check deemed a clear and obvious mistake had not been made with the game continuing.
Forest fell to a 2-0 defeat in the game, thanks to goals either side of half-time from Antony and Diogo Dalot. But speaking in his post-match press conference, Cooper said the decision not to award a handball was a game-changing one.
