Nuno Espirito Santo continues his extraordinary “why always us?” rant after Nottingham Forest defeat

VAR checked the incident but insisted the decision did not justify any further action.

But Nuno fumed in his post-match press conference, telling Sky Sports: “Again we will send them a letter and they will apologise.

“It's a red card. It's what I try to avoid week after week… but you go back to the locker room and you see us as professionals… week after week. Week after week.

“What's going on? Does someone want to humiliate us? We get the referees, they apologize, they make mistakes. The VAR stops the game, it's a clear red card. It's week after week. Enough is enough.

“I'm just asking in a very honest way, tell me why. Why always us?”
