Wolves captain Ruben Neves has slammed referee Graham Scott after "fighting" in a stormy Carabao Cup quarter-final at Nottingham Forest which is set to see the clubs charged by the FA.
Both sets of players were involved in a mass brawl after Forest won 4-3 on penalties to help set up a semi-final with Manchester United later this month. Stewards ran on to pitch to intervene after the feisty contest in which Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui was booked along with Matheus Nunes, Daniel Podence and Serge Aurier after the visitors were denied a late penalty.
They were infuriated by Scott’s failure to award a penalty when Emmanuel Dennis clipped Nunes’ ankle in the box. Nunes’ boot even came off in the incident and it added to Wolves’ frustrations when they eventually exited.
