Incidentally, Nottingham chairman Marinakis went on to reportedly chase Tierney down the tunnel over his officiating.

The Mirror reports that Marinakis followed Tierney to his office and kept yelling at him to 'respect the players' before the security intervened.

"He and the Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis pursued referee Paul Tierney and fourth official Graham Scott all the way to referee's office yelling at them "Respect the players! Respect the players! This happens every week! Respect the players!" the BBC journalist Rob Schofield was quoted saying on the incident.

"Marinakis had to be removed by security at one stage. The Forest players were furious, Nuno looked absolutely crestfallen," he added.

Meanwhile, Nottingham's loss leaves them sitting 17th in the Premier League, with Liverpool four points clear at the top.
