The FA has released written reasons for charging both clubs after the incident on January 11, where Wolves were fined £45,000 and Forest £40,000.

The Carabao Cup quarter-final clash ended 1-1, but Wolves were aggrieved that a penalty call was waved away after Matheus Nunes was brought down in normal time, before Forest went on to win 4-3 on penalties. Stewards were then forced to intervene when both sides were involved in a ‘mass confrontation’ at full-time.
