Nottingham Forest drew 2-2 with Leicester City at The City Ground in the Premier League, but it was owner Evangelos Marinakis who stole the headlines with what he did to Nuno Espirito Santo at full-time.
Despite Chris Wood and Morgan Gibbs-White getting the goals which saw Nottingham Forest guaranteed European football next season, Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis was not happy at full-time.
He was involved in an extraordinary confrontation with Nuno Espirito Santo after the final whistle against Leicester City, seemingly spurred on by the fact they dropped two points once again in the Premier League.
The altercation was certainly a talking point, and notable pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville both had their say on the matter.

Neville initially took to X to show disgust for Marinakis’ full-time actions.
He wrote: ‘Scandalous from that Forest owner. Nuno should go and negotiate his exit tonight with him! The Forest fans, players and manager do not deserve that.’
Carragher also reacted immediately on Sky Sports commentary. He told Marinakis to ‘get off the pitch’, before labelling the Greek owner as ’embarrassing’.
The pair were not happy with Marinakis’ actions.
