Leeds United and Nottingham Forest played out a controversial 1-1 draw on Saturday.
Some Nottingham Forest fans on Twitter haven’t reacted well to Kemar Roofe’s goal for Leeds United on Saturday evening.
Forest looked like leaving Elland Road with all three points after Jack Robinson opened the scoring on 11 minutes.
But Roofe equalised for Leeds with eight minutes of normal time to go – and in controversial circumstances, it must be said.
Video replays indicate that the Whites striker used his arm to score the goal, with Roofe, a £3 million signing from Oxford United in 2016, admitting as much directly after full time.
And it’s fair to say that Nottingham Forest fans aren’t happy with the United hitman.
It seems unlikely that Roofe will be given a ban for the goal, and he is right with what he said at full time. The onus is on the referee and linesman to rule the goal out. He cannot be expected to tell the referee that he handled the ball.
In other matters, it was Roofe’s fifth goal in eight Championship games this season. He is rapidly proving himself to be a massive player for Leeds, who sit second in the table and two points behind Sheffield United.
