'Snatched away' - Evangelos Marinakis' anger over Nottingham Forest controversy revealed

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has been left frustrated and disappointed with the EFL after promotion was "snatched away" with a 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth on Tuesday.

The Reds were narrowly beaten by Scott Parker's side in midweek, as the Cherries won automatic promotion to the Premier League at Forest's expense. Forest have a play-offs spot already confirmed, but the Reds' chief is disappointed by the manner in which his club missed out on the chance to win automatic promotion.

Forest were controversially denied a penalty when Sam Surridge was ruled offside by one of the assistant referees moments after being fouled in the penalty area. With no VAR available, the match officials had to stick to their original decision despite TV replays showing Surridge to be onside.
