In a tense aftermath of Nottingham Forest's 2-2 draw with Leicester City, manager Nuno Espirito Santo explained owner Evangelos Marinakis' visible frustrations concerning a substitution mistake. The incident revolved around striker Taiwo Awoniyi, who, after a collision, remained on the field despite being ineffective. Marinakis' on-pitch confrontation with Nuno highlighted the emotional stakes involved as Forest vies for Champions League qualification. Pundit Gary Neville condemned Marinakis' actions, suggesting it was inappropriate to confront the manager publicly, especially after securing a European competition spot for the club.
It was due to the situation. There was a confusion over the situation of [Awoniyi]. We made a [different] sub and after that we played with one man less so that frustrates everyone. It's obvious.
I think what the Forest owner has just done over on the pitch at the City Ground is absolutely scandalous. If I was Nuno I'd be going to have a very strong word with him.
