Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper refused to get drawn into the debate over whether Daniel Podence should have seen red in an ill-tempered match at the City Ground.
The Wolverhampton Wanderers man appeared to spit in the direction of Reds ace Brennan Johnson towards the end of the 1-1 draw. VAR immediately checked for a possible dismissal, which came shortly after Podence had cancelled out Johnson’s opener, but no action was taken.
It was the second big flashpoint in the game, with assistant managers Alan Tate and the visitors’ Pablo Sanz having been sent off. The two sets of coaching staff clashed on the touchline when Wolves argued they should have had a penalty.
