  • Nottingham Forest decided to troll Diego Costa before their Premier League game against Wolves at Molineux stadium
  • Forest's social media admin took issue with Costa's unveiling video where he was filled with a pack of wolves
  • Wolves, however, had the last laugh as Ruben Neves scored the only goal of the game to take Forest to the last spot on the log

Nottingham Forest succumbed to their sixth Premier League loss in seven games after they went 1-0 down to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, 15th October.

Forest have struggled to keep up with the tempo of the Premier League after gaining promotion despite signing close to 20 new players.

They walked into their fixture at Molineux looking to get points off fellow strugglers who were also languishing in the relegation zone.

Before the game, the social media admin decided to take a low dig at Wolves' announcement video of Diego Costa. The former Chelsea striker had joined Wolves after the club had lost new signing Sasa Kalajdzic.

The club decided to have Costa hold a pack of wolves in a creative unveiling video. Forest uploaded a picture of their striker Emmanuel Dennis holding a pack of wolves as part of the pre-match hype.

The tweet has since been deleted.

The tweet has now returned to haunt Forest as a Ruben Neves penalty guaranteed Wolves maximum points. The win was also sufficient to help Wolves stop the rot and climb out of the relegation zone.

Wolves responded with a troll of their own after the game with a picture of a cut-down tree saying 'playtime's over.'

Brentford troll Manchester United after the Red Devils are outclassed by their rivals Manchester City

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Manchester United were football's punching bag on Sunday, October 2nd, following a disastrous Manchester derby where they lost 6-3 to rivals Manchester City.

Brentford, who had beaten United 4-0 early in the season, were not left behind in taking a dig at United on Twitter.

The Bees put up a nasty Tweet which certainly rubbed the salt in United's wound, who were thoroughly outclassed by Man City. City were 4-0 up by half-time, and Pep Guardiola reckons his side could have scored more goals en route to their comfortable win.
