Nuno Espirito Santo says he is fed up of complaining about referees after Nottingham Forest were defeated 1-0 by Fulham. Raul Jimenez’s penalty in the 51st minute was the only goal of the game with Nuno stating after the game that it was a “bad decision” to award the spot kick.

It took a victory at Anfield for the first time in 55 years for anyone to really take notice but the diligent work of Nuno Espirito Santo has been quietly transforming Nottingham Forest for the best part of a year.

Nuno Espirito Santo spoke of his pride at seeing Nottingham Forest register their first win at Anfield since 1969 — and praised his players for following the tactical plan. Forest claimed a memorable 1-0 success over Liverpool thanks to Callum Hudson-Odoi’s 72nd-minute goal.

Forest were further aggrieved later in the second half when another VAR penalty decision went against them - this time following Fulham defender Calvin Bassey's tackle in the area on substitute Anthony Elanga.
