Former FIFA and UEFA referee Keith Hackett has given his verdict on the penalty Nottingham Forest were denied in their goalless draw against Preston North End on Tuesday.
Striker Keinan Davis went down under a challenge from Sepp Van Den Berg, triggering huge appeals for a spot-kick from the Forest players, but referee Geoff Eltringham allowed play to continue.
After the game, Forest boss Steve Cooper said: “Keinan has turned, he’s in the box, he’s an attacker, he’s a goal scorer, he’s a finisher, why would he go down?
