Evangelos Marinakis sends message to Nottingham Forest supporters after play-off triumph

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis has taken to Instagram to share a message with the club’s supporters following his side’s showdown with Huddersfield Town.

The Reds managed to secure a return to the Premier League yesterday by defeating Huddersfield Town at Wembley Stadium.

Ryan Yates went close to opening the scoring for Forest as he glanced a header wide of the target from James Garner’s delivery.

The Reds took the lead just before half-time as Garner’s cross was diverted into his own goal by Levi Colwill.

Following the break, Brennan Johnson fired wide before Harry Toffolo had a penalty appeal turned down by referee Jon Moss.

Huddersfield had another claim for a spot-kick turned down when Joe Worrall collided with Lewis O’Brien.

Forest managed to see out the rest of the game as they sealed promotion to the top-flight.

Reflecting on his side’s play-off triumph, Marinakis has admitted on Instagram that he is extremely proud of everyone at the club for this particular achievement whilst he also praised Forest’s fans for their support.

Marinakis posted: “Nottingham Forest is back where it belongs after 23 long years.

“We are back in the @premierleague!

“I am extremely proud of everyone in the Club for this historic achievement.

“I am grateful for the fantastic support from our fans who have proven that we are a solid #NFFC family.
