Ugly scenes as players clash after Nottingham Forest beat Wolves in the Carabao Cup

Emotions spilled over at the end of Nottingham Forest's Carabao Cup win over Wolverhampton Wanderers after a tension filled penalty shootout.

The Reds were 4-3 winners after penalties following a 1-1 draw in normal time. Dean Henderson was the Forest hero as he saved two spot kicks including the decisive one from Jonathan Hodge.

Tenisons flared in the celebrations as Morgan Gibbs-White clashed with former Wolves team-mate Adama Traore before just about every player from both teams and their benches got involved.

Gibbs-White had to be dragged away as did Traore with pockets of clashes continuing before tempers calmed and both teams left the pitch. There was no sign of cards being shown at the time.

Henderson soon broke away from the scenes to celebrate in front of home fans with the managers - Steve Cooper and Julen Lopetegui - gesturing to each other on the pitch, although it is unclear what degree of anger there was in their interaction.

The result means Forest are through to the semi-finals with the draw to be made shortly.
