Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies: 'Wes Morgan should have been dismissed'

Nottingham Forest boss Billy Davies insists that Leicester City's Wes Morgan should have been sent off in the Championship clash between the two sides.

Nottingham Forest manager Billy Davies believes that Leicester City's Wes Morgan was fortunate not to receive a red card during the 2-2 draw between the sides in the Championship.

The Reds boss argued that the defender should have been dismissed for denying Jamie Mackie a goalscoring opportunity when he was the last man.

"Wes Morgan was the luckiest player on the pitch. It was a clear goalscoring opportunity," BBC Sport quotes him as saying.

"I had an exchange of words with the referee. I asked him why it was not a red card, he said that it was not a goalscoring opportunity. He sent me to the stand, for raising my voice.

"We just ran out of juice. We were disappointed with the goals we gave away, but this was against a side at the top of the table and a side that has developed well over the years."

Forest lie in fifth place in the table following the draw, while the Foxes are top with an eight-point lead over second-placed Burnley.
