Leeds survive as Forest’s fire fizzles out

RIVAL managers Billy Davies and Simon Grayson unsurprisingly had different views on the incident involving Nottingham Forest’s Chris Gunter and Leeds’ Sanchez Watt in the 1-1 draw at The City Ground yesterday.

Gunter and Watt were both booked following the 81st-minute fracas, but Leeds boss Grayson said: “The referee has got the wrong decision. I have seen it and the Forest player is a lucky boy, it’s a blatant stamp. I don’t know how the referee gave two yellow cards, it’s a strange decision that’s been made.”

Forest manager Davies said: “I have watched the video and there was a stamp on my goalkeeper Lee Camp before the other incident. Gunter was also clearly stamped on and has then reacted naively. Gunter should not have got involved and was not as professional as he should have been.”
