Leeds United claimed a late draw at home to Nottingham Forest at the weekend.

A controversial equaliser from Kemar Roofe left Forest’s players and fans unhappy, with the ball deflected in off the Leeds striker’s hand.

BBC pundit and former Nottingham Forest midfielder Jermaine Jenas was not impressed that the goal was allowed to stand.

He posted on Twitter a day after the game expressing his view.

The draw meant Forest ended the weekend in seventh place, just outside the play-off spots.

Leeds slipped from first place to second, two points behind new leaders Sheffield United. They remain four points ahead of Forest.

This season’s Championship is more even than previous years, with no team yet separating from the pack as Wolves and Newcastle United have done over the last two seasons.

Kemar Roofe’s controversial goal could count for a lot come the end of the season.
