There was a moment during Nottingham Forest’s hammering at the King Power Stadium where Steve Cooper slumped forward.
James Maddison had just put Leicester City 3-0 up 10 minutes before half-time and it was already game over. The head coach dropped to his haunches, his hands slipped off his knees and his head bowed.
He seemed crestfallen. At that point, it would have come as little surprise if it also proved to be game over for Cooper as Reds boss.
