Earlier today at the City Ground, there were some unusual incidents following a match between Nottingham Forest and Leicester City that featured former Wolves players. The Wolves had a tough day yesterday, losing 2-0 to Brighton at Molineux. Today, the players were likely nursing their wounds and reflecting on the loss.
It is unclear if Vitor Pereira held a training session today, but some players may have watched the Forest vs. Leicester game. Forest was aiming to improve their Champions League chances but could only manage a 2-2 draw against Leicester.
Some interesting moments occurred at the end of the game, as former Wolves captain Conor Coady scored for Leicester while Morgan Gibbs-White and Chris Wood made an impact for Forest. However, a goal from Facundo Buonanotte dashed Forest’s Champions League hopes.
In a bizarre turn of events, Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis stormed onto the pitch to confront Nuno Espirito Santo after the draw. The situation has been criticized by pundits like Gary Neville, who called it ‘scandalous.’
The aftermath of this confrontation will be intriguing to watch, as it is not a good look for an owner to interfere in this manner. Despite the setback, Forest remains just one point behind Chelsea in the race for a Champions League spot.
