Nuno Espirito Santo: Ian Holloway criticises referee who dismissed Wolves boss for Jurgen Klopp-style celebration
Former Premier League manager Ian Holloway was left outraged with the decision to send off Nuno Espirito Santo during Wolves’ last-gasp victory over Leicester at the weekend.Diogo Jota’s stoppage-time strike secured an enthralling 4-3 winfor Wolves, sparking jubilant scenes at Molineux.3

Wolves came out on top in what was one of the most entertaining games of the season

The Portuguese joined his players in the celebrations by running up the touchline before joining in the bundle.However, when Nuno returned to his technical area he was told he would have to spend the remainder of the game in the stands after being sent off for running on the pitch by referee Chris Kavanagh.Nuno accepted the punishment and after the game insisted the referee made the correct call.3

Nuno had to spend the final moments of the game in the stands

But Kavanagh failed to dismiss Jurgen Klopp when officiating Liverpool’s last-minute victory over Everton in December.The German ran on the pitch to celebrate with Reds goalkeeper Alisson Becker but was only punished after the game when he was given an 8,000 fine by the Football Association.Kavanagh’s failure to remain consistent was something that angered many football fans in the immediate aftermath of the Nuno episode.3

Klopp raced over to embrace Alisson but was not punished until after the game

And Holloway believes Nuno was hard-done by particularly in the wake of the Klopp incident.Speaking to talkSPORT’s Jim White, Holloway said: “You could see he [Nuno] was itching, he was slapping the hands of his staff and he thought Im going [to celebrate with the players]’.“Instead of running on the pitch he ran up the side and then he ran behind the goal and he wanted to say to the lad [Jota] whos had some injury problems well done. “But when he gets back, off you go! Now I know rules are rules but I know what happens as a referee.“The same ref didnt send off Klopp for doing it against Everton. He didnt send him off.“I wish he didnt send off Nuno because where does it stop? He [Kavanagh] obviously got a ticking off from his bosses and hes now sent him off.“I thought it was silly, it was stupid. With the passion, with the pressure managers are under, you should be allowed to celebrate to a point.”
