Former Sunderland Midfielder Andy Reid Critical of Newcastle Forward's Display in Recent Cup Defeat

Former Sunderland midfielder Andy Reid was heavily critical of Newcastle's Ayoze Perez for his protests after being denied a late penalty in their Carabo Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest.

The Magpies exited the cup at the second round stage to the Championship side for a second successive season, losing 3-1 at the City Ground as many of Rafael Benitez's first team players failed to perform.

Despite losing the game, Perez thought he should've had a penalty in added time with the score at 2-1, as the Spaniard fervently remonstrated with the officials both during and after the game, although Reid suggested he should've shown that same passion in his performance.
