Leeds United salvaged a late draw against Nottingham Forest yesterday with a dubious equaliser.

With eight minutes left to play at Elland Road, Kemar Roofe bundled the ball into the net to level the scores at 1-1.

But replays appeared to show that the ball struck his arm as it went in.

Defender Jack Robinson had given Nottingham Forest an early win and it looked like they were going to hold out for a tough-fought three points away from home.

But Leeds hit back with a dramatic late equaliser and one that caused plenty of controversy.

Mateusz Klich sent in a cross to the back post and Roofe leaned towards it and knocked it in with his arm.

After the game, the 25-year-old admitted it had hit his arm. But he added that it may have been ball-to-hand.

Here are some opinions from Leeds fans on Roofe’s dubious late equaliser.
