Stealing the limelight.
In a game that contained four goals, two of which were incredibly impressive from Sammy Ameobi, and which featured two team battling near the top of the table, it would take something special to take the attention away from the game.
However, that’s exactly what the referee managed to do in this game, with some rather questionable decisions.
Highlighted by the bizarre call of awarding the visitors a penalty for, well I don’t know exactly what he gave it for, as well as his decision to book Carl Jenkinson early in the second-half despite what looked like a legitimate challenge.
Will Forest win the play-offs this season?
Yes
No
He did ‘even things up’ a bit by sending off Kyle Naughton in the final ten minutes of the game, but that still wasn’t enough for these Nottingham Forest fans to restrain themselves from tearing into Oliver Langford for his display.

Well played reds. Didn’t get beaten by an absolute disgrace of a referee, who should never officiate ever again. @EFL
