NOTTINGHAM (Reuters) -Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis entered the pitch and expressed his frustrations after Sunday's 2-2 draw with Leicester City as he could not understand why the injured Taiwo Awoniyi was not substituted, manager Nuno Espirito Santo said.

The draw left Forest in seventh with their Champions League hopes slipping away and although they secured a return to Europe for the first time in 30 years, Marinakis was fuming when he remonstrated with the manager after the full-time whistle.
