Ron Walker thinks Nottingham Forest could have won a penalty against Luton Town after a 19th minute moment.

The Sky Sports reporter made the comments while covering today’s game live from Kenilworth Road.

So, what happened in Luton Town vs Nottingham Forest? Let’s take a look…

Nottingham Forest could have won a penalty against Luton Town

Well, Walker believes Nuno Espirito Santo’s side could have got themselves a spot kick in today’s Premier League clash – if Divock Origi was a bit less honest.

The Sky Sports reporter said: “Being cynical, Origi could have left a leg in on (Thomas) Kaminski, gone over and given Darren England to make. 

“He was honest, jumped over the diving goalkeeper and got nothing for his troubles.”

Credit to Origi for not resorting to cheating, although we’re sure a few Nottingham Forest fans would have loved the Belgian to delve into the dark arts and ease their nerves in today’s relegation six-pointer.

Chris Wood eventually calmed the away end at Kenilworth Road down with a fine finish to put Nottingham Forest 1-0 up, before the Hatters saw an equaliser disallowed due to a handball.

Rob Edwards did eventually see his side net an equaliser after Luke Berry broke Nottingham Forest hearts in the 89th minute.

Unlikely to have been given anyway

Even if Origi had initiated contact with the leg of Kaminski, we doubt Darren England would have awarded a penalty kick anyway – given the standard of refereeing in Nottingham Forest matches lately.

Nuno is surely still furious about last week’s controversial moment involving Jakub Moder – who should have been sent off for a challenge on Neco Williams.

There was perhaps some evidence of things evening themselves out in today’s clash after Luton Town saw an equaliser disallowed.

Had the officials missed that one as well, Nuno would have presumably gone berserk.

Fortunately, there was no such controversy in today’s crucial six-pointer, and Wood’s 10th goal of the season was enough to ensure Nottingham Forest did not suffer a catastrophic defeat.
