Blackpool fan seen mouthing off at Nottingham Forest player for kicking ball away

A Blackpool fan goes viral after being seen mouthing off at Nottingham Forest player Murillo for kicking the ball away live on TV.

Murillo absolutely hoofs the ball into the Blackpool fans, with the moment captured by the ITV cameraman on the 33rd minute with the Premier League outfit winning 1-0 at the time.

He battled Jordan Rhodes for the ball, with the latter getting to it first, only for the ball to deflect off Murillo and went out of play.

Yet Murillo still felt the need to lash the ball into the stands, with fans taking for cover, to which the player holds his hands up in apology, turns around and gets booked, much to his surprise judging by his reaction.

Andrew Omobamidele scored on his debut to put Forest ahead on 16 minutes. A corner was flicked on by Yates and Andrew was there to hammer home at the back post.

Just a minute into the second half, Forest pounced on a loose backpass following some good pressure from Nico, Danilo received the ball and doubled his side’s lead.

Blackpool got one back on 61 minutes, a great finish from Albie Morgan, who struck it first time on the edge of the box and into the top corner.

The hosts then got their equaliser, with Kyle Joseph heading home an Andy Lyons cross at the back post with 12 minutes of the 90 remaining.

The game went to extra time, and it was on 110 minutes that Yates fired a ball across goal, with Chris Wood tapping home from close-range to send Forest through to the Fourth Round, where they will play Bristol City.

Blackpool boss Neil Critchley had a proud look on his face as he spoke to the media after the game.

He said via the club website: “To go so far over the two games and then come out of it with nothing, it is hard to take.

“But I’ve got nothing but praise for our players tonight, I thought they were terrific. You couldn’t really tell the difference between the two teams, to come back from two nil down to bring it level and then have a chance at the end to win it shows our character. We made it a great cup tie.

“It was exciting, we played with endeavour and energy and I really loved watching us play tonight. I think the whole team played with real purpose, we went after Nottingham Forest, we tried to press them and there is a risk to doing that.

“If you open up the pitch to good players they can hurt you, but we caused them problems and the introduction of Kyle Joseph, Shayne Lavery and Karamoko Dembele brought a bit of energy at the top end of the pitch. Albie Morgan is in great form and it’s a terrific goal and I’m delighted for Kyle for that goal too.”

“We wanted to try and play the game in a different way than we did in the first game,” Critchley added.

“We were at home and we thought if we played the same game, more often than not you lose the game that we played at the City Ground. So we went toe-to-toe with them, we tried to press and go after them and we know that is a risk against a team who can play through you and break your press.

“Their physicality means they can exploit you when that happens, particularly in the latter stages of a game, but we knocked them out of their comfort zone, we made them play a game they didn’t want to play and that is something we can take real pride in.”

Nottingham Forest’s Chris Wood, speaking to ITV4: “It’s about getting to the next round, we had to do it ugly again. We made it hard for ourselves as we did at the City Ground.

On the celebrations: “All our thoughts go to Cheikou [Kouyate] and his family. He knows he is loved by us and our fans, so we dedicated that to him.”

On facing his former club Bristol City in the next round: “They are doing well in the Championship, it will be tough. It is always tough to go to Ashton Gate.”

Forest boss Nuno said, as per Nottingham Post: “This is the FA Cup. That’s why this competition is so special, it allows every team to play and to fight the way Blackpool did today.

“We cannot take credit away from them. We had our problems but a lot of credit goes to Blackpool.

“This is the magic of the FA Cup. That’s why I love it, because it is one chance for everybody.

“It was tough, but we did the job. The game was very demanding with the way Blackpool played, with long balls and second balls. We could have done better, but the character of the team in this tie of the cup is special – the way we came back at the City Ground, which allowed us to come here. We started well here and I thought at the beginning of the second half the game was over but we cannot think that way.

“We made mistakes that allowed Blackpool to get back in the game. In extra-time we showed that we deserve the victory. The players who came in gave us a big hand and thank God Chris was there to put it in the net.”
